“The Exhibition “Latvia’s Century” is a true story about us, what we are, and why we exist today. Historical testimonies and knowledge gathered at the exhibition allow us to shape our future as well apart from learning from the mistakes made in the past and getting inspired from the past ideals, and carrying our most precious treasure, freedom of Latvia,” stressed the President of Latvia when launching the exhibition at the Zagreb National and University Library.
