Charles M. Schulz Museum

The Charles M. Schulz Museum and Research Center was designed to reflect the modest, low key, and comfortable personality and style of the internationally-famous cartoonist. Until his death in 2000, Charles "Sparky" Schulz himself was involved with each design stage. After his passing, his widow, Jean, along with close friends, family members, and museum and design professionals kept his vision in mind to create this beautiful and meaningful space as a tribute to an extraordinary man.
he architectural firm of C. David Robinson Architects was chosen based on their experience in the design of museums and their enthusiastic interest in translating Sparky's whimsical philosophy of life through art into three dimensions.

While the artwork is the attraction, our challenge was to create a place where Sparky's spirit can comfortably reside. We challenged ourselves to envision what he would find appropriate, and what would be the most comfortable environment for the display of his work and the celebration of his life.
The mission of the Charles M. Schulz Museum and Research Center is to preserve, display, and interpret the art of Charles M. Schulz. The Museum will carry out this mission through exhibits and programming that:

Illustrate the scope of Schulz's multi-faceted career,
Communicate the stories, inspirations, and influences of Charles M. Schulz,
Celebrate the life of Charles M. Schulz and the Peanuts characters, and
Build an understanding of cartoonists and cartoon art.
