The A.I. Marinesko Museum of the History of Russian Submarine Forces is a state museum located in Saint-Petersburg, Russia. The museum was named in honor of the Soviet submarine commander Alexander Marinesko, and is the only museum of Russian submarine forces. The museum was established in 1997.
The museum contains many items relevant to the Russian submarine forces, including: models of submarines; personal items, documents and photos of sailors; original equipment from Soviet submarines; items associated with Russian naval traditions; and maps of naval battles. Periodically the museum organizes special exhibitions dedicated to historical dates.
One of the highlights of the museum is the special hatch mounted in wall. This hatch was cut from a Delta I class, Soviet nuclear submarine K-385. Visitors to the museum can move from the one hall to another using this hatch, feeling themselves as real submariners.
