Breakthrough Museum

The Museum-Panorama "Breakthrough" is located in the village of Maryino near the Ladoga Bridge at the 41st kilometer of the Murmansk Highway in Shlisselburg. The exposition for the first time presents all military units, including five penal battalions, that took part in breaking the blockade, and uses 3D mapping technologies, light and video installations with sound effects. In the multimedia hall, the history of the blockade is told through the fate of one family using old films, photographs, animation, and 3D graphics. Near the panorama, KV-1, KV-1s, and BT-5 tanks are displayed, which were raised from swamps and Lake Ladoga and restored at the Neva Shipbuilding Plant.
