During the pre-holiday week, the Museum of the Occupation of Latvia, in cooperation with the artist Bārbala Gulbis, is offering special glass ornaments, earrings and rings in the colours and pride of the Latvian flag.
Each piece is a unique work of art – made with sincerity, respect and love for Latvia. It is not only a beautiful piece of jewellery, but also a symbolic way to express your belonging and respect for the country.
A great gift for the celebration of May 4 – the Day of Restoration of Independence of the Republic of Latvia, to carry your country in your heart and on your chest.
As of today, all items can be purchased at the Museum's reception desk!
