A mão de Estaline

Hand taken from a statue of Stalin

"Pulled down on the evening of 23 October during the Hungarian Revolution of 1956, the Stalin statue in Budapest’s City Park was one of the main symbols of the system overthrown at that time. After being toppled, the statue was broken up by the angry crowd. Our exhibition displays the ‘almighty’ hand. (The statue was made by Sándor Mikus.)" daqui
