In August, four more Ukrainian-language audio guides became available in the world. This was announced by First Lady of Ukraine Olena Zelenska who leads the project to introduce Ukrainian language into cultural landmarks across the globe.
Audio tours in Ukrainian are now available at: the Rembrandt House Museum in Amsterdam (Netherlands) – the only museum in the world entirely dedicated to the artist’s life and work; the Lagos Museum in Portugal’s Algarve region – known for its rich maritime history; the Munkácsy Mihály Museum in Békéscsaba (Hungary) – which houses archaeological finds from the Scythian, Sarmatian, and Avar periods; the Gemäldegalerie in Berlin (Germany) – home to masterpieces by Jan van Eyck, Bruegel, Dürer, Holbein, Botticelli, Raphael, Titian, Caravaggio, Rubens, and Rembrandt.
“Ukrainian as a language of culture, art, dialogue between civilizations, and shared values. All this is about a project of Ukrainian audio guides, which we are scaling up in leading museums and landmarks around the world. Ukrainian unites the entire civilized world,” said the First Lady.
In total, 106 Ukrainian-language audio guides are now available in museums, galleries, and historical and cultural sites across 55 countries.
