A museum and memorial to those who suffered and died under the fascist and communist regimes of the 20th century. This Soviet tank is the center piece in the main atrium, the tour starts at the top of the building and works down to the basement. Photographs were only allowed on the ground floor. The museum presents the history in a very original manner, it felt like walking inside a piece of art.
