Main Gallery

Celebrate 60 years of It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown with a closer look at the world according to Linus.

With his security blanket in hand, Linus Van Pelt offers reflections on life, happiness, faith, and existential uncertainty—even if not everyone is ready to hear them. In this exhibition, take a closer look at the Peanuts gang’s resident philosopher, Linus, whose delicate balance of intellect and childhood innocence has made him one of Charles M. Schulz’s most beloved characters. See original Peanuts comic strips, vintage products, and animation cels, step into some playful photo-ops, and join Linus as he tries to make sense of a big, unpredictable world while keeping Snoopy from stealing his blanket!
