A Charming Experience
Three of us visited the museum in June; two adults ($12 each) and one senior adult ($8). The volunteers were very, very helpful; without them we wouldn't have known where to start to maximize our experience. Their suggestions definitely provided the best path through the building. There are two great art installations in the Great Hall; the more you look the more impressed you will be. The comic strip gallery is charming, and the room showing other artists gives good insight into those who were Schultz's influence and inspiration. Upstairs is a reconstruction of Schutz's studio worth seeing. It took me a while to make sense of the "wrapped Snoopy house" art installation. Take the time to read the plaques, and you'll get it. Once I understood, I appreciated it more. 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. Allow about a half day for your visit; a morning or an afternoon.

Worth a visit
We stopped here primarily to kill time between checking out from one hotel and checking into another one but it was worth a visit. It is a combination of a shrine to the man and a nice collection of cartoons and memorabilia. FYI- it you are a member of a North American Reciprocal Museum you can receive free admission which we didn’t realize until after we had paid the entrance fee.
