Memorial of the Victims of Communism and of the Resistance, History museum in Sighetu Marmației, Romania.
The Memorial of the Victims of Communism occupies a former prison building, with cells transformed into exhibition rooms documenting communist-era oppression.
Between 1950 and 1955, this maximum-security prison held ministers, parliamentarians, and journalists who opposed the Romanian communist regime.
The museum presents extensive documentation, photographs, and personal items belonging to political prisoners who endured persecution during the communist period.
Visitors can explore the museum from April through September between 9:30 AM and 6:30 PM, and October through March from 10 AM to 4 PM.
Each former prison cell contains specific exhibits that chronologically detail the implementation of the totalitarian system in Romania from 1945 to 1989.
