This is the first Snoopy museum in the Japan The works on display in this exhibition are part of a collection from the Charles M. Schulz Museum or the author's museum of Snoopy in Santa Rosa, Calif.

Come out to see each other, which many works that have been shown. It is the original of the early Peanuts cartoons.

Read moreIf you love Snoopy and the Peanuts gang, you should see this. The actual cartoon strips, which are larger than what you see in the newspaper or books, are framed on the walls, apt for the theme. Each has a description in both Japanese and English. The themes occasionally change. I experienced the love theme when I went, which was fitting for "White Day" (March 14) when guys give gifts, which I bought in the gifts store inside - February 14 is for girls to give gifts in Japan.
Upon entering, there is a waiting area for the theater short to watch next. The wall has hundreds of cartoon strips positioned to make up a huge image on the entire wall and a large Snoopy house.
After the short film, you enter the main part of the exhibit and wind through the display walls and cases. Occassionally there are screens playing tv short segments with Japanese dubbed audio...the screen is rounded like tv screens of the original era. Another detail is the newsprint pixels on the walls in different colors in different parts of the exhibit. Very nice historic details most won't catch that add color to the monochromatic displays.
A highlight was original drawings by Charles Shultz from his early years. I won't say much so you get the experience I did of seeing things not in any books.
There are also a few merchandise items of the past on display, but few as you could imagine that over the years a single item of each would fill a warehouse let alone this not large museum which is almost intimate in size - just right.
You can take pictures in the museum...the Japanese are camera friendly. :)
There is one last theater experience at the end...and it is not unlike some projections I've seen in plays.
You exit into the merchandise area with specific items for Tokyo.
Check out the art in the bathrooms too.
I wouldn't say this is for kids...more for older people reconnecting with past enjoyment of Peanuts.
Overall, this was the most thought out, complete and integrated experience I have ever had...
Read moreReview of My Visit to Snoopy Museum Tokyo スヌーピーミュージアム
After a year of anticipation, I finally carved out time to visit the Snoopy Museum Tokyo スヌーピーミュージアム this past weekend with my girls. Nestled in the charming Grandbery shopping area, the museum and its adjacent café brought an immediate smile to my face.
Growing up, watching Snoopy and the Gang during special holidays was a cherished tradition that filled my childhood with joy. Stepping into this quaint little museum was like a delightful trip down memory lane, rekindling those wonderful moments.
The museum itself is thoughtfully curated, offering a nostalgic journey through the beloved Peanuts universe. The exhibits are engaging, and the atmosphere is both cozy and vibrant, perfectly capturing the spirit of Charles Schulz's timeless creations. My girls were equally enchanted, making the visit a memorable family outing.
One aspect I regret missing out on is the workshops. I wish I had known about them beforehand, as they offer the chance to create personalized button pins and even build a Woodstock stuffed toy. This gives me a perfect excuse to plan another visit soon!
In summary, the Snoopy Museum Tokyo スヌーピーミュージアム is a must-visit for any Peanuts fan. Whether you're reliving childhood memories or introducing the magic of Snoopy to the next generation, this museum is a delightful escape that I highly recommend. I look forward to returning and participating in the workshops to add another layer of fun to this...
