The “Peanuts” comics are arguably one of the most iconic and impactful comic series in history. From television specials, to greeting cards, and even amusement parks, these comics are known across the globe. So it would only be fitting that an exhibit would open to commemorate the history of the comics and their creator, Charles Schulz. Such is the case at the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry, where Charles Schulz is king.

Charlie Brown And The Great Exhibit explores the many aspects of “Peanuts”comics, as well as the life of Schulz.

“We met and worked with the Charles Schulz Museum in Santa Rosa, California…in order to preserve his memory and the characters he created,” said Jeff Buomono, coordinator of the exhibit. “We wanted to tell the story of his life, and talk about all these great characters he created, many of which are from real life stories.”

The exhibit is vast, spanning through Schulz’s entire life, and featuring the evolution of “Peanuts” comics. There are a plethora of glass cases filled with artifacts (real and fake) from Schulz’s past as a child and a writer. The walls are filled with reproductions of comics, as well as originals featuring all the beloved characters. There are also character biographies of Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and others, spanning from their creation to where they are today.

The exhibit also features activities for kids through mounted iPads and interactive television screens. There’s even a section dedicated to the holiday comics.

“The ‘Peanuts’ characters are synonymous with the holidays,” Buomono said. “So we wanted to incorporate that into the exhibit as well.”

Charlie Brown And The Great Exhibit is a family friendly treat for all ages. Blending nostalgia with entertainment, it’s a fun addition to the museum. The exhibit runs through Feb. 18.
