Furthermore, in effort to expand beyond the Washington DC area the mission of The Latvian Museum to educate our community on the heritage, history and culture of Latvia, The Latvian Museum would like to create and launch a virtual tour of The Museum. And finally, The Museum&#8217;s traveling exhibit project has been so well received in many cities around the United States, The Museum would like to continue this program to other interested cities. For all of these special projects, we need funding.&nbsp; So please join the 2027 Annual Fundraiser and contribute generously to The Latvian Museum.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
