Snoopy fans in Tokyo sure have it good: the Charles M. Schulz Museum in Santa Rosa, California, has set up a permanent satellite location in Minami-Machida, Western Tokyo. Visitors are able to see plenty of original Peanuts drawings and art, a number of Schulz's early works, vintage collectibles and other materials pertaining to the beloved beagle and his friends, plus special exhibitions which rotate every six months.
In February 2024, the museum reopened after some renovations, and now offers some exciting highlights including a fun new entrance and new exhibition rooms. Some of the new things to see include the Snoopy Wonder Room featuring goods donated by Peanuts fans and the giant 8m-long Snoopy statue set up in the Snoopy Room. To totally immerse yourself in the Peanuts experience, be sure to stick around the Snoopy Room for the multimedia shows that feature a mix of light and music.
Along with the museum, the souvenir shop has also gotten an upgrade, and now features 160 new products to shop from. Don't forget to stop by the adjoining Peanuts Cafe on the premises as you can order from the new and improved menu featuring some tasty desserts and cute picnic boxes.
