World’s First Snoopy Museum Opens In Tokyo

Snoopy has come a long, long way since its inaugural debut in 1950. The iconic cartoon is a creation of American cartoonist Charles M. Schulz and is evidently extremely well received across the world; Snoopy has a star on the Hollywood’s Walk of Fame and is officially appointed as NASA’s safety mascot.

And it doesn’t end there. Snoopy is so popular that it even launched its own movie last year. Today, an entire museum – located in Tokyo’s Roppongi – dedicated to Snoopy will be opening its doors to public. This attraction is the world’s very first Snoopy museum and boy, we are incredibly excited!

Charles M. Schulz Museum and Research Center hereby announces the official opening of the world’s very first Snoopy Museum in Roppongi, Tokyo today. Located just within a seven-minute walk from Roppoongi Tokyo Metro Station, the attraction itself will feature curated exhibitions, a Snoopy-themed cafe called Cafe Blanket and a souvenir store.

Fans can immerse themselves in the world of Charles M. Schulz’s comic strip Peanuts and meet other gang members such as Charlie Brown and Woodstock.
