Karlskrona: The Naval Museum
The research design is based on fieldwork at strategically selected military heritage sites. These are the pictures from the field work site Karlskrona: The Naval Museum.
The Naval Museum: The museum covers the history of the Swedish navy. Of particular interest is the exhibition ‘Surface Tension’, about the Swedish navy in the Cold War, tracing the stranding of a nuclear equipped Soviet submarine (U 137) in the Karlskrona archipelago in 1981 leading to public alarm and seriously strained the relationship between Sweden and the Soviet Union.
