According to information from the museum, one of the priority tasks is to create an inclusive environment for visually impaired people through cultural and artistic initiatives. As part of the project "Creating an Inclusive Museum Space for the Visually Impaired and Blind through Tactile Sculptures," which started in 2023, a collection of six tactile copies of famous sculptures has been developed.

In 2025, the collection will be supplemented with new tactile sculptures created as part of the "Inclusive Museum" project of the University of Central Asia. Among them will be copies of works by artist Olga Manuilova, "Help to the Front" and "Collective Farm Girl."
The exhibition will also include decorative and applied art items, including a copy of the traditional alakiiz, a fragment of a traditional shyrdak, and a homage to the modernized alakiiz by artist Jumabay Umetov.
Currently, the museum's tactile corner includes eight sculptures, three decorative and applied art items, one plaster relief of national patterns, and a three-dimensional plaster copy of a painting.
