The Martial Arts History Museum is set to celebrate the grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony for its new permanent Armenian Exhibit this Saturday, June 27, at 4:00 PM at its Glendale location. Sponsored in part by US Armenia, the event underscores the museum's expanding focus on cultural diversity and community engagement.
The grand opening will feature a live Armenian martial arts demonstration, speeches from City of Glendale dignitaries, and light refreshments. The museum, founded in 1999, relocated to Glendale two years ago and has since broadened its scope beyond Asian martial arts to include a global perspective. Its mission centers on exploring the art, history, culture, and traditions behind martial disciplines rather than solely physical combat.
The permanent Armenian Exhibit marks a significant addition, further enriching the museum's diverse celebration of global cultures. The event is free and open to the public, welcoming community members, martial arts enthusiasts, and media. For more information, visit the museum's website at MAmuseum.com.
