first exhibition in the Republic, compiled from video footage of
diving of the manned submersibles “Mir”, is devoted to the problems
of preservation and rational use of water resources. The exhibition

with the flora and fauna of Lake Baikal, with the scientific
discoveries made during the expedition “Mirs at Lake Baikal”.
“This exhibition relays the idea of the expedition “Mirs at Lake
Baikal”, the 5th anniversary of which we will soon celebrate. We
wanted to show that our lake – is the purest and most beautiful.
All frames that are used in the exhibition are drawn from the
manned submersibles “Mir”. We plan to provide some more exclusive
video content for the exhibition”, - said Vice-President of the
Fund for Protection of Lake Baikal Bair Tsyrenov.
This project was developed by the Museum within the framework of
the project “Every drop matters – BonAqua for clean future of Lake
Baikal”. The project was also supported by the Fund for Protection
of Lake Baikal, the Ministry of Natural Resources of the Republic
of Buryatia, Baikal Information Center “Fringe”, United Nations
Development Program and Coca Cola Company. .
During the exhibition, the curators of the exhibition showed
various physical experiments with water, reported on the
composition and properties of water, conducted creative workshops
for young visitors.
“We have always dreamed that in our Republic there is a project,
showed the beauty of the underwater Lake Baikal, and it has
appeared. The exhibition in the form of a bathyscaphe - we wanted
to be a little bit like the manned submersibles “Mir”. Children
fall into a different space, where there are portholes around,
where you can look at the Baikal animals... I would like to thank
our partners for their support of this project. We hope that this
exhibition will be visited”, - said the director of the National
Museum Tatiana Boronoeva.
