The Martial Arts History Museum in Glendale is set to unveil a permanent Armenian Exhibit this Saturday, June 27, at 4:00 PM, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and live martial arts demonstrations. The event, sponsored in part by US Armenia, underscores the museum's commitment to cultural diversity and community outreach.
Founded in 1999, the museum relocated to Glendale two years ago and has since broadened its scope from Asian martial arts to include traditions from around the world. The new Armenian exhibit is a key part of this expansion, aiming to explore the art, history, culture, and traditions behind martial arts rather than just the physical combat.
The grand opening will feature speeches from City of Glendale dignitaries and a live Armenian martial arts demonstration, followed by light refreshments. The museum's mission is to highlight the profound cultural impact of martial arts through immersive exhibits and community events.
Located at 201 N. Brand Blvd., B100, the event is free and open to the public. For more information, visit the museum's website at MAmuseum.com.
