The exhibition shows the contribution of the Polish minority to the economic development of both Latvia and the city of Lipawa itself - a city of particular importance as a port and
hub. railway junction. In fact, Poles played a key role in its development, as recalled in the book Poles in Lipawa - a known, unknown, forgotten history by Marek Głuszko and in the exhibition created on its
basis. The exhibition based on the book reminds us of this. The 21 charts show the profiles of 12 people who were particularly important for the development of Lipawa, while the city itself is illustrated with large-format prints of archival postcards. The exhibition was prepared in three languages: Latvian, Polish and English.
