Terror House Museum Reopens as Content Review Continues Amid Ongoing Dispute

The Terror House Museum opened again on Tuesday after Minister Tarr Zoltán announced it would operate while a content review by independent historians and curators proceeds. The museum’s management has been transferred to Cultural Asset Management Ltd., a subsidiary of the Ministry for Social Relations and Culture, following the termination of former director Schmidt Mária’s contract. Schmidt and the ruling Fidesz party have demanded her reinstatement and an apology from the minister. A protest with several hundred participants took place outside the museum, reflecting continued tension over the museum’s future.
