Recognizing our responsibility as the main museum of world art culture in Moscow, we strive to make available the permanent exhibition and temporary exhibitions of the museum for native speakers of Russian sign language. Our inaudible guides work closely with guardian art historians to offer museum visitors truly vivid, original tours tailored to the specifics of the Russian Language Library. To this end, we have developed an encyclopedia of art in Russian sign language, which is available on the museum’s video channel.
