This year we are bringing the old Paraugtipogrāfija building back to life – a place where banknotes, public transport tickets, and even the iconic “tautumeita” (folkgirl) that today adorns the €2 coin were once created.
🔹 On the building’s facade, you will see special projections telling the story of the building’s history and the remarkable people who worked here.
🔹 During the tours, you will have the opportunity to walk through the rooms and feel the spirit of printing history.
🔹 A unique performance – an artist on a slackline will transform the weight of history into lightness and movement.

More information about all “White Night” events can be found on the website www.baltanakts.lv and the Facebook page facebook.com/Baltanakts.
The goal of “White Night” is to encourage the public to explore the diversity of contemporary culture and to spark broader interest in cultural events, expressions, and changes. “White Night” takes place both in the city center and in other neighborhoods, revealing a city open to residents and visitors of all ages, nationalities, and social groups. “White Night” events are traditionally held not only in familiar cultural and artistic venues but also in unconventional spaces, promoting an expansion of the perception of what culture can be.
