The fifteenth Ukrainian audio guide was launched at the Museum of National History in Frederiksborg Castle in Denmark, as part of the project of the First Lady of Ukraine Olena Zelenska on introduction of Ukrainian-language audio guides worldwide.
On the occasion of the launch the meeting took place by videoconference, attended by the spouse of the President of Ukraine Olena Zelenska, Minister for Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba, Ambassador of Ukraine to Denmark Mykhailo Vydoinyk, Ambassador of Denmark to Ukraine Ole Egberg Mikkelsen and Director of the Museum Mette Skougaard.
“Diplomatic relations between Ukraine and the Kingdom of Denmark are approaching their 30th anniversary. During this period, our countries have implemented many projects in the cultural, humanitarian and environmental spheres. Just a week ago, the Ukrainian-Danish Youth House in Kyiv began its activities, and today we have launched a Ukrainian-language audio guide at Frederiksborg Castle, known as the Museum of National History of Denmark”, said Olena Zelenska.
“The initiative of Olena Zelenska and the coordinated work of her team and Ukrainian diplomats demonstrate an excellent result – we are jointly implementing cultural initiatives in the interests of our state and Ukrainians abroad. The launch of the Ukrainian-language audio guide is an excellent manifestation of cultural diplomacy, which opens Ukraine to the world and, and vice versa, the world to Ukraine”, said Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba.
Frederiksborg Castle palatial complex was built in the first decades of the 17th century as the residence of King Christian IV and is the largest Renaissance castle in the Nordic region. From 1671 to 1840, in the chapel of the palace the coronation ceremonies of the new monarchs of Denmark and Norway took place. Since 1878, the castle has been transformed into a Museum of National History, presenting works of art collected by the royal family.
The launch of the audio guide became possible thanks to the support of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, the Embassy of Ukraine in the Kingdom of Denmark, as well as the Museum of National History in Frederiksborg Castle.
