Exhibition “Moses, Oars and the Radio. Wood in the History of Latvia”

20 Oct 2021   | Currently · Exhibitions · LNVM · LNVM · Temporary exhibitions · What's new

The National History Museum of Latvia has elaborated a new exhibition “Moses, Oars and the Radio. Wood in the History of Latvia”. From 16 November, 2021 the exhibition is opened for visitors.

Did you know that trees and humans entered the territory of Latvia almost simultaneously -12,000 years  ago, soon after the end of the last Ice Age? Since then, fundamental changes have taken place in all areas, but the coexistence of people and wood has been remarkably  enduring. Thus, the  history of our land and society can be read through our relationship with wood and forests.

In the five sections of the exhibition, we share the stories about the most ancient wooden objects made in Latvia, the importance of wood in medieval trade and the various uses of wood in farmers’ homesteads. The insight into the rapid development of the wood industry and history of Riga’s gardens and parks will introduce you to the contradictious impacts of the industrial era. Additionally, the interactive balance circle will help you discover your contribution to maintaining the delicate equilibrium between the use and conservation of wood.

The booklet of the exhibition can be downloaded here.
