Just like the original Schulz Museum, a new, comprehensive permanent exhibit called "Snoopy and the Peanuts Gang" has been added, allowing you to meet Snoopy at any time. Following an opening theater on a large four-screen screen, the exhibit will introduce the life and drawing techniques of creator Charles Schulz. There will also be a corner dedicated to the Peanuts gang, including Charlie Brown, as well as an exhibit combining vintage goods. The exhibits will also continue in the impressive Snoopy Room, where visitors will be greeted by a giant "Sleeping Snoopy" measuring approximately 8 meters in length.

This special exhibition, featuring precious original artwork on loan from the Schulz Museum, changes every six months. The first installment, "The Beagle Scouts Are Here!", will run from December 14th to June 28th. Snoopy, playing the role of leader, leads the Beagle Scouts as they roam the fields and mountains with Woodstock and his friends. Beginning with the story of their origin, visitors can enjoy a world full of adorable stories featuring the unique members, including how to roast delicious marshmallows, life in a tent, knowledge of the harsh natural environment, and the leader's own melancholy.

The popular Peanuts Cafe is located in the adjacent Annex (Park Life Building). In addition to a wide variety of menu items, the cafe offers dishes perfectly suited to the lush surroundings, such as basket plates inspired by the Peanuts gang's "potluck picnic." We also recommend bringing a takeout picnic box and enjoying lunch in the park right in front of the cafe. The cafe is accessible without a museum ticket. Opening hours are from 10:00 to 22:00, with an early opening on November 13th.

A special opening event, "Learn How to Draw Peanuts Characters with Paige Braddock," will be held on December 14th from 10:30 and 12:30, and will feature a special course taught by Paige Braddock, creative director of Schulz Studios and herself a cartoonist. From December 14th to 30th, the "Snoopy Candle" workshop will be held four times each day at 10:30am, 1pm, 3pm and 5pm.
