MARTIAL ARTS HISTORY MUSEUM GRAND RE-OPENING

The Martial Arts History Museum's New Era In the heart of California's bustling cities, where the energy of Hollywood studios and Disney's magic merge, the Martial Arts History Museum has embarked on a remarkable journey. Originally nestled within Burbank's creative hub in September 2011, the museum quickly outgrew its cozy 1200 square foot home, brimming with rich history and resonating stories.

The quest for a new haven that could accommodate the museum's expanding vision and its community's growing fascination was no small feat. Yet, Michael Matsuda, the museum's dedicated curator, alongside a visionary board of directors, tirelessly sought to weave this dream into reality.

The search concluded triumphantly, culminating in a grand revelation on April 6, 2024, featuring an awe-inspiring 8000 square foot space at 111 W Wilson Ave, Glendale, CA 91203-2605, United States

Months of meticulous preparation have transformed this space into a sanctuary that celebrates the profound legacy and vibrant evolution of martial arts. The new facility promises an immersive experience, showcasing larger, more intricate displays and innovative sections never seen before

This monumental effort, championed by Michael Matsuda, a limited yet passionate staff, and the unwavering support of the martial arts community, has breathed life into the museum's expansion.
