Wonderful memorial. It is nice presented and the stories are indeed sensitive and unbelievable. Our guide, Oana, was able to present all these stories in an interactive way. I already knew a lot about the Pitesti experiment, but she told us facts that you hardly find them on the internet. One thing that I would like to see next time I’m coming to visit the museum is additional objects from that area. There were some donated materials such as bunker beds, prisoners’ clothes, and soon I hope you will receive more in order to make the experience even more authentic! Thank you for everything Oana and we will definitely come back!

We had a great visit! It is definitely worth to visit, especially with the guided tour as strolling around won’t help much as you need a knowledgable person to take you through all the stories that have happened in there. Oana is (with no exaggeration) the best guide I ever met, and she combined a serious topic with some “fun” parts so it does not get depressing. She managed to keep our attention the whole 2 hours of the tour. She read so many books about the Pitesti experiment matter, hence she was able to answer each question I had, no matter the complexity. Also, we were a mix of Polish and Romanian group, reason why she did her first English tour with us and it was amazing. If this was her first one, I cannot imagine how good the next ones will be! Thanks Oana for all the great time and thanks for spending such a long time with us, even after the closing time!!
Great guided tour! Recommended if you want to discover the history!
I had a very nice experience at the Pitesti Prison Memorial today. The visit is free and they offer a free app that you can download to walk you through the exhibits (Romanian and English). It was an educational visit which helps one learn about the life of political prisoners in the secret prisons in communist times. Recommended. And also a kind thanks to the lovely docent who allowed me to visit even as they were about to close for the 2pm lunch break and made me feel most welcome and without hurry. Kudos!
Worth to see, well organised webapage, english speaking guids. Not easy but have to know part of Romanian history.
Really good and informative tour about what remains a little known part of Romania's history.
Full of history! Took a free guided tour and was blown away by the terror to which political prisoners were submitted to. Definitely a place to visit to understand the true and regretful part of the Romanian Communism!
A beautiful yet scary reminder of what happened there in the past.
