California - Santa Rosa: Charles M. Schulz Museum and Research Center - Peanuts Tile Mural
Image by wallyg
The Peanuts Tile Mural, created by Japanese artist Yoshiteru Otani, was installed on the south wall of the 2,133-square-foot Great Hall of the Charles M. Schulz Museum and Research Center in 2002. Measuring slightly larger than 17 x 22 feet, the tile mural features an image of Lucy holding the football for Charlie Brown and is composed of 3,588 Peanuts comic strip images--or about ten years worth of daily strips--printed on individual 2- by 8-inch ceramic tiles. Schulz changed the size of his comic strip a number of times during his career, so for this piece, Otani selected strips only from those that he drew on a 27-inch by 6-inch format (most frequently from 1956-1988). Otani also created Morphing Snoopy on the east wall of the Great Hall.
