The Martial Arts History Museum in Glendale, California, announced it will offer free admission for all fathers on Father's Day, June 21, 2026, from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Located at 201 N. Brand Blvd., B100, the museum aims to provide a memorable and stress-free outing for families, highlighting the cultural and historical significance of martial arts.
Designed by a Disney artist, the museum spans 8,000 square feet and is the only facility of its kind globally. Visitors can explore exhibits on Asian cultural history, the origins of mixed martial arts, and the artistic evolution of martial arts. The collection includes martial arts movie props, Japanese samurai artifacts, a history of anime, and an authentic workout item used by Bruce Lee. The museum has become a cultural landmark in the Los Angeles area, attracting high-profile guests such as Keanu Reeves, Danny Trejo, Marisa Tomei, Steve Oedekerk, and Duff McKagan.
For many families, navigating Los Angeles museums involves heavy traffic and expensive parking fees. The Martial Arts History Museum offers a more convenient alternative, with easy parking at 222 N. Orange, where the first 90 minutes in the tower are free. Admission is free for fathers, $12 for adults, and $5 for children. The museum is open from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM on Father's Day.
This initiative underscores the museum's mission to preserve and share the history, art, and legacy of martial arts, highlighting its positive influence on global culture and film. For more information, visit MAmuseum.com.
