Modern museums are increasingly becoming inclusive spaces of equal opportunity, where the love for art and history knows no boundaries. This transformation is significantly driven by the integration of Russian Sign Language (RSL) into museum practices. RSL is a powerful tool that enables the engagement of diverse audiences in museum life. Russian Sign Language is a vibrant and constantly evolving system. To stay relevant, museums must foster the sustainable use of RSL, establish collaborative relationships with the community of sign language users, and exchange professional experiences.
