Looks like this event has already taken place.

,

120 East Park Avenue, Elmhurst, IL 60126

Just before the first man landed on the moon, Snoopy soared through space with NASA’s Apollo 10 mis­sion in May of 1969, launching the beloved beagle’s role as an ambassador for the U.S. space program.

In this new touring exhibit organized by the Charles M. Schulz Museum and Research Center, visitors will learn about the role the Peanuts characters played in NASA’s Manned Flight Awareness safety program. Displays feature a 1969 series of NASA-themed comic strips, photographs, video footage, and reproductions of artifacts from the Schulz Museum’s collection.

Limit: 15 visitors allowed per hour, 5 people per group, face masks required. PLEASE NOTE: The museum is open with limited capacity at this time. Please make a reservation on Eventbrite before you visit. Questions: Call us at 630-833-1457

Museum is closed on Mondays.
