This virtual multicache is to introduce the 1956 Revolution Memorial Museum and Chapel close to Kiskunmajsa. The place was founded by Pongrátz Gergely, a hero of the 1956 revolution.
Museum is temporarily closed, and geocaching.hu cache has been disabled. Placement of a real cache is planned. Until then, this cache is disabled. Sorry.
---------------------------------------------------------
The museum and the chapel can be found at Marispuszta, on the Kiskunmajsa-Szeged road after km 34 (if coming from Kiskunmajsa). The coordinates of the cache point to a car park from which you can see both the chapel and the museum on the opposite side of the main road. The second stage of the cache is a tank in the garden of the museum. I would welcome a photo of you with the chapel and the tank in the background to the email: jalsovszky.gy@t-online.hu. Thanks.

Pongrátz Gergely, the commander of the fights in Corvin Köz (Budapest) against Russian invaders during the 1956 revolution bought the building of a country school along the road leading from Kiskunmajsa to Szeged, which has been restored and in which the Museum was opened on the Spring of 1999. The museum gives home to original relics of the Revolution: maps, weapons, flags, books, press clips, photos, documents, private objects of freedom fighters. On the court of the museum a tank and several cannons can be seen.
The 1956 Memorial Chapel, built according to the plans of Csete György, Kossuth Prize winner architect, was consecrated in June 2002. The left, intact, tower symbolises the revolution, the right, destroyed one represents the lost freedom fight against the Sowiets. Inside the chapel marble plates hold memories of those executed after the revolution.
You are encouraged to visit the museum and chapel even in the lack of Hungarian knowledge, as the Pongrátz brothers, who run the museum, lived for a long time in USA, speaking excellent English (at least I presume).
Unfortunately, the Pongrátz brothers died since the publication of the cache, but the museum can still be visited.
