The museum opened on August 17, 2002, two years after Schulz died, and is in Santa Rosa, California.
Two works by Japanese artist Yoshiteru Otani dominate the Great Hall:[1] a 3.5-ton wood sculpture depicting the evolution of Snoopy and a 22 ft (6.7 m)-high ceramic mural made of 3,588 Peanuts strips which combine to form the image of Lucy van Pelt holding the football for Charlie Brown to kick it.
[2] Among the museum's permanent exhibits are a work by Christo which depicts Snoopy's doghouse wrapped, an exhibition of foreign language editions of Peanuts books, Schulz's personal studio and tributes to Schulz from other artists.
[3] Inside the museum are three rotating galleries with exhibits that change every year.
