There was no space given to how each Peanuts character developed over the years which I found shocking for a Peanuts museum. It showed about a dozen panels of how Shultz depicted the seasons in Peanuts. The last room had a Peanuts cartoon theme du jour which when I visited was the four seasons. Another room had Schultz' work room recreated was which was interesting. Another showed the chronolgy of Schultz' life which offered little to anyone who has already read any literature about the man. One room contained Peanuts-related cartoons by other well known cartoonists which was nice. The museum offered little about Peanuts characters themselves. I'm a big Peanuts fan and decided to take the hour drive from San Francisco while visiting. At first I thought the Education Room was reserved for visiting school groups, but it's open for anyone to wander in and try their hand on the arts and crafts projects.Īllow about a half day for your visit a morning or an afternoon. Once I understood, I appreciated it more. Take the time to read the plaques, and you'll get it. It took me a while to make sense of the "wrapped Snoopy house" art installation. Upstairs is a reconstruction of Schutz's studio worth seeing. The comic strip gallery is charming, and the room showing other artists gives good insight into those who were Schultz's influence and inspiration. There are two great art installations in the Great Hall the more you look the more impressed you will be. Their suggestions definitely provided the best path through the building. The volunteers were very, very helpful without them we wouldn't have known where to start to maximize our experience. Three of us visited the museum in June two adults ($12 each) and one senior adult ($8).
