Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown

For millions of Americans, it really isn’t Christmas until they have watched A Charlie Brown Christmas at least once! This seasonal exhibition examines the making of this animated classic and celebrates the anticipation, joy, and pitfalls of the holiday season in 50 framed and matted Peanuts daily and Sunday comic strips.

Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown consists of high-quality digital reproductions of Charles M. Schulz’s original Peanuts strips with thematic graphics, an introductory panel, and a biographical panel about Charles Schulz that includes photographs of Schulz family celebrations. Also included are the DVD program, “The Making of A Charlie Brown Christmas,” didactic panels with photographs, and artifacts related to the making of the holiday classic. In addition, the exhibition contains vintage three-dimensional Peanuts-themed seasonal novelties, including several from the exclusive Determined Productions, Inc. collection. Venues are provided with directions and supporting material to install/fabricate up to three activity areas: a letter to Santa writing station, a video nook to view the DVD program, and a photo opportunity.

To ensure an exclusive holiday experience, Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown is being offered on a limited basis to only two venues per year; one venue is during the Christmas holiday season and the other is during the summer with the new “Christmas in July” option.
