This exhibition has been conceived in Latvia as an open story of the values of a democratic society. Its premise is inspired by the story of a family, which is synonymous with the destiny of the Latvian State and strengthens the idea of the existence of the state itself. Opening these premises for conversations, visitors are engaged to the maximum degree possible and invited to exchange ideas, thus fostering understanding of the role of civil society in the state’s existence. The task for designers was to convey Jānis Čakste’s timeless ideas and insights in an environment in use today. The interior has been deliberately designed to be laconic and clean, conveying a feeling of astute order and precision.
