The Ilmatorjuntamuseo (Air Defense Museum) has exhibitions that feature the history of anti-aircraft weapons in Finalnd, from anti-aircraft machine guns made of machine guns connected together from the early 20th century to an anti-aircraft missile system. The museum also has the world's first anti-aircraft tank. Therefore, it is very apt that the remains of the rear fuselage and canopy from this MiG-3 are on display, as it made a forced landing near Utti after being hit by anti-aircraft fire in July 1941.
