New Opportunities for Ukrainian-speaking Tourists

This August, four new Ukrainian-language audioguides were introduced to the world. This was announced by Olena Zelenska, the First Lady of Ukraine, who is spearheading a project aimed at the Ukrainianization of global cultural landmarks.

Specifically, audio tours in Ukrainian are now available at the Rembrandt Museum in Amsterdam (Netherlands) – the only museum in the world dedicated entirely to the life and works of the artist, at the Lagos Museum (municipality in Portugal's Algarve region), known for its maritime history, at the Museum of Mihai Munkacsi in Bekescsaba (Hungary), which houses archaeological findings from the Scythian, Sarmatian, and Avar periods, and at the Berlin Picture Gallery (Germany), showcasing works by Jan van Eyck, Bruegel, Dürer, Holbein, Botticelli, Raphael, Titian, Caravaggio, Rubens, and Rembrandt.

“Ukrainian serves as a language of culture, art, dialogue among civilizations, and shared values. This is what our project of Ukrainian audioguides is all about, which we are expanding in leading museums and landmarks worldwide. Ukrainian unites the civilized world,” emphasized the First Lady.

In total, there are 106 audioguides available in museums, galleries, and historical-cultural sites across 55 countries.
