Olena Zelenska: The history of humanity and the human spirit is being told in Ukrainian already in 82 museums around the world

As part of the project of the First Lady of Ukraine Olena Zelenska, audio guides in Ukrainian have been launched in two more world museums.

The Nobel Prize Museum in Stockholm has opened an exhibition "Things that Changed the World" with Ukrainian accompaniment. It features 250 exhibits from the museum's collection donated by Nobel Prize winners. The Ukrainian audio guide is also available at the Sisi (Empress Elisabeth) Museum in Vienna, Austria.

Among its more than 300 exhibits are the personal belongings of the wife of Emperor Franz Joseph. Visitors also have the opportunity to visit the apartments of the imperial couple of the XIX century.

Olena Zelenska's project to introduce the Ukrainian language in the world's leading historical and museum sites has already been implemented in 82 sites in 44 countries. Two new audio guides have been implemented with the support of the Embassies of Ukraine in the Republic of Austria and the Kingdom of Sweden.

As the President's wife emphasized, this is important both for Ukrainian forced migrants in these countries and for the countries themselves, as it promotes a better dialogue of cultures.

"To paraphrase the title of the Stockholm exhibition, we can say that language also changes the world. And even in difficult times, it gives the world mutual understanding, and it gives us understanding of ourselves," the First Lady summarized.
