Yanka Kupala said: «Let only one great thought illuminate you – to give everything for your Motherland, even your life, if she calls you to it».

Kupala’s desire to serve Belarusian literature and culture is the link between the Belarusian State Archive-Museum of Literature and Art (hereinafter referred to as BGAMLI) and the Yanka Kupala State Literary Museum, which celebrated its 80th anniversary on May 24, 2024.
