Mr Alies Susha, Deputy Director General of the National Library of Belarus, made an opening speech. He congratulated everyone on a significant event, the 15th anniversary of the Book Museum, a landmark cultural institution that appeared in the new building of the country's main library in 2006. Mr Alies Susha spoke about the history of the museum and expressed his sincere gratitude to all the initiators and organisers of the museum. He stressed the importance of this special exhibition space for the National Library of Belarus and expressed confidence that the Book Museum will actively develop and surprise visitors with new projects.

She talked about the cooperation and cultural ties that exist between the museums and wished for more interesting exhibitions and initiatives.

A performance by Anastasija Nesciareuskaja, a laureate of international contests and recipient of the Special Fund of the President of the Republic of Belarus for the Support of Talented Youth, who performed several lyrical works during the exhibition opening, created a beautiful and festive atmosphere.
