"The Hideous Mannequins of the Transport Museum" Top 5 Page for this destination Budapest Travelogue by antistar

In an effort to inject some life and humanity into the exhibits at Budapest's Transport Museum, they decided to add some of the most lifeless and inhuman models I've seen since the dolls at Garmisch-Partenkirche.

The Starter

The Little Taxi Girl

Clearly the poor girl this particular mannequin was modeled after suffered from a severe case of Saint Vitus Dance.

Telephone Operator Woman

Help! Police! I'm trapped in a museum with hideously deformed monstrosities!
