Izstāde “Ražots Latvijā” – stāsts par Latvijas rūpniecības un amatniecības vēsturi pirmās Neatkarības laikā

The exhibition "Made in Latvia" is on view in the White Hall on the second floor of the exhibition house "Brīvvalsts dārgumu nams", which will allow every interested person to delve into the story of our country's development through its manufacturing and business achievements in 1918–1940.

➤ The aim of the exhibition is to reveal to the wider public what our country's largest manufacturers and factories, most outstanding craftsmen and industrialists were, who formed the economic backbone of Latvia in the first half of the 20th century. Visitors will be able to view more than 300 authentic objects collected in the exhibition "Made in Latvia" in cooperation with 15 private collectors from all over Latvia and abroad.

➤ Jolanta Leitāne, manager of the exhibition house "Brīvvalsts dārgumu nams", about the upcoming exhibition: "We have been working diligently for several months so that the exhibition "Made in Latvia" is truly interesting, valuable and enjoyable for every guest of ours. It will feature items of very different themes, ranging from women's long silk stockings and fine silver jewelry to the field telephones of the Latvian army artillerymen or gas masks produced in VEF. Several famous book publishers, confectionery factories, porcelain and ceramics manufacturers, leather, metal, textile, glass, musical instrument, etc. makers of that time will also be represented. The exhibition will be supplemented by rare photographs from exhibitions and production facilities, as well as statistical data and various documents. It is important to add that this exhibition in "Brīvvalsts dārgumu nams" will be on view for a whole year – from November to November, so I invite you to plan a visit and appreciate the history of Latvia's industry in person."
