The exhibition “Take a Glimpse into the Mysteries of Fate: From the History of Belarusian Families”, which presents works dedicated to the genealogy and heraldry of Belarus, is held in the Belarusian literature reading room from August 25 to September 29.
The study of history is a part of culture, without which we can not understand ourselves and answer the fundamental question - who we are. The Belarusian symbols, heraldry and genealogy are of great interest nowadays. On the one hand, the history of the country and of the people on the whole attracts, on the other hand – the fate of one’s family.
