Kulmenovs are engaged not only with creativity, but also with scientific work. Under their leadership, the Republican Research and Craft Workshop "Kok Bori" (Blue wolf) was created, where students study the technique of reviving the ancient techniques of making decorative arts and metalworking products. The brothers are actively involved in the implementation of state, scientific, historical and ethnographic projects: "EXPO - 2017 - Ethnoaul", "550th anniversary of the Kazakh Khanate", "Almaty kuni - 2015", etc. For 40 years of research and practical work Kulmenovs were awarded by the sign “Cultural worker” of the Ministry of Culture and Information of the Republic of Kazakhstan (2007), they were awarded the International title “For merits to the Turkic world” (Turkey, 2008).

Weapons, ammunition, national musical instruments (for folklore orchestras "Otyrar sazy", "Murager", "Sazgen", "Adyrna"), objects of national decorative and applied art (for museums "Batyr Isatai Taimanuly", "Eset Batyr", "Raiymbek Batyr", "Kobylandy Batyr", as well as for many regional historical museums of the Republic of Kazakhstan) were made, restored, reconstructed, recreated by them. In 1993, based on the poem by Magzhan Zhumabayev, the eponymous film “Batyr Bayan” was shot – especially for this film, the brothers produced weapons and decorative arts.
