The Martial Arts History Museum, now located at 201 N. Brand Blvd. in Glendale, is inviting the public to celebrate Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month this May by exploring the deep artistic and historical roots of the East. The museum, which recently moved to a larger facility on Brand Boulevard, serves as an educational gateway into Asian art, music, and tradition, offering visitors a chance to experience the living legacy of Asian contributions.
Museum President Michael Matsuda emphasized the significance of the museum’s new location, noting that Glendale has deep ties to Japan and South Korea, including its own private Japanese Garden. “We hope the community considers the museum a primary destination in their celebration of AAPI heritage,” Matsuda said, adding that the facility provides a significant cultural service to the city and its surrounding neighbors.
Throughout May, the museum will host nearly weekly events promoting Asian tradition, ensuring fresh experiences for returning visitors and newcomers alike. These programs are designed to keep the museum a vibrant center for community engagement and cultural preservation. Visitors this month will discover how customs from countries like Japan, China, Korea, Thailand, and the Philippines fueled the development of historical practices and shaped global history.
Education remains a core mission, and schools in the Glendale and Burbank areas are strongly encouraged to book field trips during May. These visits offer a curated environment where students can learn about diversity and history in an engaging setting. By welcoming the next generation, the museum helps ensure that AAPI contributions are recognized as a fundamental part of the American story.
The museum’s new address is 201 N. Brand Blvd., B100, Glendale, CA 91203. For more information on upcoming May events, to schedule a school tour, or to inquire about hours of operation, call (818) 245-6051 or visit the museum’s official website at MAmuseum.com.
