History

The original Snoopy Museum Tokyo opened in Roppongi on 23 April 2016, and attracted almost a million visitors for the next two years.

The current incarnation of the museum opened at the Minami-machida Grandberry Park in Machida on 14 December 2019, as an official satellite of the Charles M. Schulz Museum and Research Center in Santa Rosa, California.[4] It reopened in February 2024 after renovations.[1]
