The Martial Arts History Museum will hold a grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony for its new permanent Armenian Exhibit this Saturday, June 27, at 4:00 PM at its Glendale location. The event, sponsored in part by US Armenia, marks a significant expansion of the museum's focus on cultural diversity and community outreach.
The celebration will feature a live Armenian martial arts demonstration, speeches from dignitaries representing the City of Glendale, and light refreshments. The exhibit underscores the museum's evolution since relocating to Glendale two years ago, broadening its scope from Asian martial arts to a global perspective that emphasizes art, history, culture, and traditions behind these disciplines.
Founded in 1999, the Martial Arts History Museum is dedicated to preserving and sharing the history and traditions of martial arts worldwide. The new Armenian Exhibit is a testament to its mission of exploring the cultural impact of martial arts beyond physical combat. The museum is located at 201 N. Brand Blvd., B100, Glendale, CA 91203, and the event is free to the public.
