Charles M. Schulz Museum

Charles M. Schulz Museum

Each year, the Schulz Museum provides hands-on art, cartooning, animation, and science programs to children in Sonoma County and beyond. The Museum reaches children with interactive day-long and week-long camps and classes, as well as field trips, classroom programs, and our school-wide “Peanuts Naturally” festival for local schools. The Charles M. Schulz Museum’s youth programs are tailored to student needs and include free days for families with children with sensory needs, Museum tours with sign language interpretation, and a special tactile tour for low-vision and blind visitors. It is the intention of the Schulz Museum to provide experiences that make every child feel just as special as the rest of the Peanuts Gang, and that means being accessible and inclusive to people of all abilities, backgrounds, and income levels. Thirty- three percent of the children reached by the Schulz Museum live in underserved, low-income communities and seventy-five percent live in Sonoma County.

The Charles M. Schulz Museum and Research Center’s youth education program is committed to offering free and affordable programs and scholarships to low income schools and students.

Field Trips at the Schulz Museum

Program description

Field trips to the Schulz Museum are hands-on, engaging, and the perfect way to introduce students to the art of cartooning, the world of Peanuts, and the life of one of the most famous and influential cartoonists in the world—Charles M. Schulz. Each Museum visit provides an in-depth look at the creative process and a chance for students to explore inspiration and collaborative brainstorming to work individually and in a group on comic strips and stop-motion animation.

Field trips cover a variety of topics based on common core, all with hands-on drawing or animation workshops. Visit this page to learn more.
