Calendar of Events
 In addition to our exhibitions, the Schulz Museum provides a wide variety of programs and presentations throughout the year, giving our visitors opportunities to: meet professional cartoonists; view some of Schulz's favorite movies in our 100-seat theatre; make hands-on crafts and learn about different cartooning techniques; and attend Members-Only parties. Our Special Group Programs provide visitors with even more hands-on opportunities, including Home School Days, Scout Days, and special guest presentations and lectures.
And at least once each year we offer a Master Class Series for Adults who want to learn cartooning techniques from some of the best in the field!
Each visit to the Schulz Museum is a unique experience!
