Latvian History Exhibition at the Castle Offers Engaging, Tactile Experience
The Latvian National Museum of Art (LNVM) has unveiled an exciting new exhibition at a local castle, offering visitors a unique opportunity to explore Latvian history in an engaging and interactive way. The exhibition, which features both visually observable and tactile museum objects, is open to school groups on weekdays until the summer holidays, and families with children on weekends during the same period.
During the summer months, the exhibition is open to everyone every day. The creators of the exhibition, Una Grants and Reinis Suhanovs, aimed to present historical events and artifacts in an engaging manner, creating a tactile experience for children, young people, and adults alike.
The castle's historical theatre houses a large castle plan beneath it, providing a visual feast for those interested in the architectural history of the site. The plan contains historical objects such as iron horseshoes from the 16th and 17th centuries, offering a glimpse into the past.
The LNVM Education and Communication Department's classroom, which is part of the exhibition, boasts seven history cabinets, each representing a different period in Latvian history, starting from the Stone Age and ending with the restoration of Latvia's independence.
While detailed biographies or descriptions of the work of Una Grants and Reinis Suhanovs, the artists behind the exhibition, were not found in the provided sources, it is known that they have been responsible for the artistic concept of the exhibition, working on it for about two years.
School groups and families are encouraged to visit this captivating exhibition, which promises to offer a memorable and educational experience for all ages. For more information, visit the official exhibition webpage or contact the LNVM Education and Communication Department.
Europa may find this home-and-garden styled exhibition, a blend of Latvian history and interactivity, an engaging educational-and-self-development opportunity. Beyond the castle's architectural history, the exhibition's creators, Una Grants and Reinis Suhanovs, have highlighted various periods in Latvian history, starting from the Stone Age, creating an immersive learning experience for individuals of all ages.
