Such an amazing little museum, and thinking back I wish I would have taken more pictures. Who knew they would have a whole building dedicated to one of my favorite comic strips.
Snoopy's favorite resting spot, on top his dog house.
"The Peanuts Tile Mural by Japanese artist Yoshiteru Otani
measures slightly larger than 17 x 22 feet, and covers the south wall of
the Great Hall. It features an image of Lucy holding the football for
Charlie Brown and is composed of 3,588 Peanuts comic strip images printed on individual 2 x 8 inch ceramic tiles."
I read as many as I eyes would let me......
"Japanese artist Yoshiteru Otani designed two major art installations for
the Great Hall of the Museum; this sculpture and a tile mural. Looking
much like a bas relief sculpture as installed on the east wall of the
Great Hall, Morphing Snoopy is composed of 43 layers that have
been shaped and cut to reveal the evolving personas of Snoopy, beginning
with Spike, Schulz’s childhood pet and inspiration for the world famous
beagle."
Your never too young or old to make your mark into the wet cement.
