Emil Aaltonen Museum: Deep / Surface – Submersibles from Lokomo, Tampere

The exhibition Deep / Surface – Submersibles from Lokomo, Tampere presents the Rauma-Repola Oceanics’ MIR submersible project— a story of how Finnish technology became entangled in the Cold War. The exhibition focuses on the construction phase and test dive voyage of submersibles completed in 1987. When the MIR research submersibles were built, they opened a new dimension in marine research. Their mobility and functionality at depths of up to 6,000 meters were outstanding.
