A Ukrainian-language audio tour is now available at the Hans Christian Andersen Museum in Odense (Denmark), which is considered one of Europe’s most modern literary museums.
It is also available at the Alte Pinakothek in Munich (Germany), arguably one of Europe’s most prominent art galleries. It houses a collection of European paintings from the 14th–18th centuries, considered one of the richest in the world. Works by Albrecht Dürer, Raphael, Rembrandt, Leonardo da Vinci, and Titian are displayed here.
In addition, the audio guide is available at the Musée de Cluny—one of France’s most important museums, dedicated to the art and culture of the European Middle Ages. The museum’s chronological exhibition presents nearly 1,600 masterpieces of medieval art spanning more than a thousand years of history. The highlights of the collection include the famous series of tapestries "The Lady and the Unicorn," the heads of the kings of Judah from Notre-Dame Cathedral, stained-glass windows from Sainte-Chapelle, and one of the finest collections of Limoges enamels.
"The first translations of Andersen’s fairy tales into Ukrainian appeared as early as the 19th century. They were made, in particular, by such Ukrainian classics as Yurii Fedkovych and Mykhailo Starytskyi. It is gratifying that Ukrainian is now the official language of one of the world’s foremost storytellers. And also the language of outstanding artists. I thank all our embassies and activists, museum and tour teams—everyone who made this possible. There are already 125 Ukrainian-language audio guides operating in 59 countries. Ukrainian has the right to be heard and will be heard in every country as the language of a people that has something to say to the world," the First Lady said.
