- Share via
The beloved “Peanuts” comic strip, drawn for decades by Charles M. Schulz, who died in February 2000, is getting a larger-than-life home in Santa Rosa, Calif.
The 27,384-square-foot Charles M. Schulz Museum and Research Center, opening Saturday, contains a re-creation of Schulz’s studio, more than 100 original comic strips and several large-scale works. Among these are a 26-foot-long bas relief that displays Snoopy’s development as a cartoon character; a 51-by-57-foot garden labyrinth in the shape of Snoopy’s head; a tile mural made of 3,588 Peanuts images; and a wall of Schulz’s early drawings.
Entry to the museum for opening festivities Aug. 17 to 19 is by timed ticket only; after that, reservations are not necessary. Admission will be $8 for adults, $5 for ages 4 to 18, free to age 3 and younger. The museum is open daily except Tuesdays; hours vary. (866) 766-6792 (for admission tickets through Sept. 2), (707) 636-0908, www.schulzmuseum.org.
