As part of the project by the First Lady of Ukraine, Olena Zelenska, audio guides in the Ukrainian language have been launched in two more world museums.
Yes, at the Nobel Prize Museum in Stockholm, an exhibition titled "Things That Changed the World" with Ukrainian accompaniment has opened. It showcases 250 exhibits from the museum's collection, gifted by Nobel laureates. Additionally, a Ukrainian audio guide is available at the Empress Sisi (Elisabeth) Museum in Vienna, Austria.
Among its over 300 exhibits are personal belongings of the wife of Emperor Franz Joseph. Visitors also have the opportunity to visit the apartments of the imperial couple from the 19th century.
Thus, the project of Olena Zelenska aimed at promoting the Ukrainian language in leading historical and museum sites around the world has been implemented in 82 objects across 44 countries. Two new audio guides have been introduced with the support of the embassies of Ukraine in the Republic of Austria and the Kingdom of Sweden.
As emphasized by the President's wife, this is important for Ukrainian displaced persons in these countries as well as for the countries themselves, as it fosters better cultural dialogue.
"To paraphrase the title of the Stockholm exhibition, it can be said that language also changes the world. Even in difficult times, it brings understanding to it, and to us - understanding of ourselves," concluded the first lady.
