Asia’s first theme museum dedicated to the Peanuts comic strip, the “Snoopy Museum,” opened in Roppongi, Tokyo, in 2016 and has since been a pilgrimage site for SNOOPY enthusiasts. However, due to local land development in Japan, the Japan Snoopy Museum will close at the end of September, but it has recently been announced that the museum will make a comeback afterward!

The final exhibition at the Japan Snoopy Museum, “FRIENDSHIP IN PEANUTS,” runs until September 24. The exhibition features approximately 80 selected original artworks from the collection of the Charles M. Schulz Museum in the United States, as well as rare antique merchandise and books. At the end of the exhibition, there will also be a mini cinema screening the film “SEE YOU AGAIN. SNOOPY.”

On the first day of the “FRIENDSHIP IN PEANUTS” exhibition, the Japan Snoopy Museum began counting down the days to closure each day, installed a countdown signboard inside the museum, and shared photos of visitors with the signboard on the museum’s official social media accounts—making it quite meaningful!
