Engineers Museum

About

The Engineers Museum (also known as the Engineer Museum, the Pioneer Museum or the Sapper Museum, Valtakunnallinen Pioneerimuseo, lit. 'National Pioneer Museum') was a military engineering museum in Finland. It was the oldest corps museum in Finland. It was opened on 13 May 1945 in the garrison of Koria, which was the part of Elimäki municipality, now Kouvola town. The Engineers Museum had the status of the scientific military museum and it was supervised by the Military Museum of Finland (Sotamuseo). The Engineers Museum was re-opened in Miehikkälä in 2007. In 2012, the Engineers Museum merged with the National Signals Museum and The Artillery Museum of Finland to form Museo Militaria in Hämeenlinna. There are two other attractions related to the Engineer corps of Finland: the Salpa Line Museum in Miehikkälä and the Bunker Museum in Virolahti.
