Abstracts

The article informs about the exhibition “Mērija's Journey. The Grosvalds Family Story” at the Latvian National Museum of Art (06.09.-24.11.2019) and the docudrama “Mērija's Journey” (2018). Both projects were based on scientific research about an important figure in Latvia's cultural history – Mērija Grīnberga (1909-1975). She was an offspring of a wealthy family and, being a museum employee, accompanied the values of Latvia's museums evacuated by the Nazi regime to the present Czech Republic; when the Red Army captured the territory, she guarded these values on their way back to the Soviet Latvia, thus saving a large part of the country's history from destruction and oblivion.
