Arms and Armor Up Close: Bayt Al-Asad, Middle Eastern Combat Arts

Celebrate the opening of our Arms and Armor Galleries with weekly reenactments, demonstrations, and interactive displays!

Bayt al-Asad, The House of the Lion, is a group dedicated to the research, practice, and education of the fighting arts and cultures of the Islamicate world from the 7th to 16th centuries. The group aims to spread information on these often-overlooked parts of the world through the practice of historical martial arts, experimental archeology, and academic research.

Program subject to change.
