A short bus ride from Budapest you'll find Statue Park Budapest, a place where, after the fall of communism, a lot of communist statues had been brought together.
Nowadays people, mostly tourists, can go there to sense the Communist era.

DESCENDENTS - "Statue Of Liberty"
Well the people walk all around
The thing on an island very far from here
They pay it homage like a god
And they paint it on each and every year
A sign for all it was given to us
And we all appreciate this bomb
The tourists don't know and never will
It has no use it's meaning is gone
The Statue of Liberty
And for united we stand
We all agree it's a mystery
But why'd they give it to us?
We still don't know just why it came
A present from god or by the rain
The crowds swarm wildly to see it's peak
When I watch I go insane
Why is it so important to them
What is the beauty they see in it
I don't know why I just accept it
I don't want it cause it makes me sick

Palazzo Nuovo Courtyard.
1st Century AD, marble.
A statue of a reclining god, thought to be either the Tiber, Neptune, or Oceanos, though sometimes Jupiter has been suggested. The name is a corruption of Latin mare in foro, "the sea in the forum" (inscribed near the statue's original location).
Moved from the Forum to the Campidoglio under Pope Sixtus V.
Le 11 novembre 1998, une statue de Winston Churchill, due à Jean Cardot, a été inaugurée en présence d'Élisabeth II, reine du Royaume-Uni, de Jacques Chirac, président de la République française et de Jean Tiberi, maire de Paris. Cette statue, qui ne manque pas de force, est située sur le trottoir de l’avenue Winston-Churchill (dans le jardin des abords du Petit-Palais), avec la façade du Petit Palais comme arrière-fond.
