Popular Front Museum collection
The Popular Front Museum collection covers the years 1986–1993 and describes the events of the period when Latvia regained its independence. It comprises around 10,000 items – documents, photographs, objects – describing the activities of the Popular Front in Latvia and its cooperation with foreign countries, as well as other events and processes of the Third Awakening.
In 2009, the evidence of the organisation of the Baltic Way campaign in 1989, preserved in the Popular Front Museum collection, was included in the UNESCO Memory of the World Programme’s international register nomination “The Baltic Way – Human Chain Linking Three States in Their Drive for Freedom”.
