Face masks, 2020.
Face masks are among the most recognisable symbols of the year 2020. Both the widespread wearing and production of masks in Latvia are new social and economic developments — the pandemic has challenged a number of businesses to switch course and weather the crisis by adopting new technologies.

The plague, cholera, smallpox, Spanish flu, polio, measles — the Covid-19 pandemic is far from being the first large-scale epidemic in world history, but this time humanity is better prepared to handle it with innovative technologies and advanced scientific research. Although the Covid-19 pandemic itself is a very recent phenomenon, the Museum has already collected a substantial number of items to document it: from disinfectants to face masks and face shields, informative material and illustrations. All this will serve as useful evidence for later generations as well as for ourselves — participants in this complex process of global transformation.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
