The collection of Ukrainian-language audio guides has expanded with four new additions. They are now available at the Museum of the American Revolution, the Royal Delft Museum, the Museum of the Battle of Grunwald and Palma Cathedral of Saint Mary. The announcement was made by Ukraine's First Lady, Olena Zelenska.
In Philadelphia, a Ukrainian-language audio guide was created specifically for the exhibition "The Declaration's Journey". Among its exhibits is the Act of Declaration of Independence of Ukraine, adopted by the Verkhovna Rada on 24 August 1991.
"For more than two centuries, the US Declaration of Independence has inspired other nations. Its central principle – the equality of all people and their inalienable right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness – is being upheld today by Ukraine's defenders. Because this is precisely what we are defending: the right to be ourselves and to live freely on our own land," the First Lady said.
Another Ukrainian-language audio guide is now available at the Royal Delft Museum in the Netherlands. Royal Delft is the only one of more than 30 Delft pottery factories established in the 17th century that remains in operation today.
In her address to the Dutch partners, Olena Zelenska thanked Royal Delft CEO Hessel Hoekstra and the entire museum team, emphasising the importance of culture for Ukrainians during the war.
A Ukrainian-language tour is also now available at Palma Cathedral of Saint Mary in Spain, one of the tallest Gothic cathedrals in the world.
Olena Zelenska thanked the embassies, consulates and Ukrainian communities in the United States, the Netherlands, Poland and Spain, as well as all partners in 59 countries that have already joined the project.
The collection of Ukrainian-language audio tours in museums, palaces and heritage sites around the world now includes 134 guides.
"The purpose of these guides is to ensure that wherever Ukrainians may find themselves, they can hear important things in their native language, and that Ukrainian can be spoken freely, on an equal footing with other languages of the world," the President's wife concluded.
