Abstract
The article analyses the activities of the Museum of Fine Arts of the Republic of Karelia, which is carried out under the Federal Project “Invented in Russia” initiated by the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation. An inclusive creative laboratory has been created in the museum, which aims to organise socio-cultural activities that include people with disabilities and health problems. Various events are organised to involve them in social life and provide them with assistance in their creative self-realisation. The article presents the main directions in the work of the museum. Special attention is paid to the “Special View” programme, which focuses on supporting people with visual impairments. Under this programme, adapted classes for children and adults are organised on the material of tactile copies of paintings, as well as objects for tactile inspection. The museum’s project activities are aimed at developing programmes, creating conditions for adapting the museum environment, as well as individual services for visitors with special needs.
