Latvian National Museums of Literature and Music permanent exhibition “Procrastination and Creation”
The exhibition “Procrastination and Creation” offers a cultural and social perspective on two of the most beautiful languages of Latvian national culture – literature and music – spanning the period from the late 19th century to the present day. By deliberately blurring the traditional boundaries of a museum and its usual experience, the exhibition reveals the human world of writers and musicians – their hobbies, habits, and the threads of procrastination that often become part of the creative process. The 98 personalities represented across nine thematic sections serve as messengers whose experiences reflect the breadth of Latvian creativity.
The exhibition “Procrastination and Creation” is designed as an extraordinary book – one that can not only be read, but also heard, felt, and experienced. Once you step inside the building at 6 Mārstaļu Street, you have already entered a story that you are both reading and continuing at the same time. The experience of “Procrastination and Creation” begins with the Prologue, located on the building’s lower ground floor, where in childlike joy you can give yourself over to the playful process of creation.
