Children and adults find fun at the new museum

(NewMediaWire) - August 25, 2024 - Glendale, CA -- The Martial Arts History Museum in Glendale, California, offers a unique educational experience for local students. Recently relocated to a larger facility, the museum provides a valuable resource for understanding Asian art, history, culture, and tradition, as well as interconnectedness these elements with martial arts.

By incorporating visits to this museum into their field trip itineraries, local schools, including those in Los Angeles, Burbank, and Glendale, are enriching their students' educational experiences and fostering a deeper appreciation for diverse cultures.

Designed by former artists from Walt Disney Productions and Halloween designers, the museum has that friendly, inviting Disney touch that kids will enjoy. From vibrant colors to video displays with closed captions, the museum offers something for everyone.

“When I bring my kids to the museum, instead of running around like they do at the Natural History Museum, the museum grabs their full attention as they look at the ninja and samurai,” notes a recent school teacher.

This year, the museum celebrates its 25th anniversary. Michael Matsuda is the president and founder of the museum. “This is such an exciting place to visit. Not only does the museum's design capture you as you first walk in, but the unique way we present each country and each martial arts. Where can you find shark teeth weapons, anime, and samurai swords in one place.”

Now residing in the heart of Glendale on Brand and Wilson, the museum is large enough to host several schools at a time. “The museum is about different cultures. Not just Asian, but soon we will have an Armenian, Native American, European, and Hispanic section. The whole place is about inspiration, it’s about connecting and understanding different people. It’s about accepting, learning from each other, and making a difference. That’s what the Martial Arts History Museum is all about.”
