The response to Inside Peanuts had been great! We had 1,700 visitors the opening weekend. Not bad for a snowstorm! Everyone at the Schulz Museum has been great to work with. We really appreciate how easy they have made it to present this exhibit.

| Inside Peanuts:
The Life and Art of Charles M. Schulz |
|
For nearly fifty years, Charles Monroe Schulz
entertained audiences from around the
world with his Peanuts comic strip.
With his endearing Peanuts characters,
Schulz explored a broad range of
emotions, from friendship and faith to
tolerance and disappointment. Inside Peanuts: The Life and Art of Charles M.
Schulz celebrates the cartoonist’s
extraordinary life and describes his
creative process and artistic focus.
This exhibition contains reproduction comic strips and
preliminary sketches that follow the development of the
characters who make up the unique world of Peanuts,
quotes by Schulz explaining his art, and selected Peanuts collectibles from six decades. Tear sheets of comic strips by
prominent cartoonists who influenced Schulz as a young
artist reveal the contrast of Schulz’s drawing style to the
elaborately illustrated cartoons popular during the early
twentieth century. These elements create an experience
for visitors that will illuminate the story behind the creation
of one of the most popular and influential cartoon strips
of all time. |

| Peanuts at Bat |
|
Every year for nearly fifty years during baseball season, Peanuts fans could expect a healthy number of strips
portraying Charlie Brown and the Gang engaged in America’s
favorite pastime. Based heavily on Charles Schulz’s childhood
experiences with sandlot baseball, the stories of the Peanuts baseball team are in turn whimsical, thoughtful, hilarious, and
full of pathos.
The exhibition Peanuts at Bat takes a lighthearted look at
Charles M. Schulz's love for the all-American sport and
showcases the Peanuts Gang’s hapless pursuit of a winning
baseball strategy. The exhibition includes 47 high-resolution
reproductions of Peanuts strips, memorabilia, three text
panels that include photographs of Peanuts creator
Charles M. Schulz, 26 object labels, four large-size baseball
quotes by Charles Schulz, and one eight-foot-wide Peanuts strip mounted on Plexiglas. |
