Peanuts ... Naturally” show to debut in Grapevine gallery

Charlie Brown is in hot water, Lucy knows the Earth has 48 suns and Snoopy and Linus are planting french fries in the garden.

These are just a few of the misadventures and explanations gone wrong as the Peanuts Gang explores the natural world at the “Peanuts ... Naturally” exhibit in Grapevine’s Tower Gallery in downtown Grapevine.

Beginning Feb. 4 through April 22, the exhibit takes a lighthearted look at Charles Schulz’s exploration of the natural world through “Peanuts” comic strips, videos, objects and interactive stations.

Visitors get a “Peanuts”-eye view of the universe, “web of nature,” trees, birds, the elements (snow, wind, rain and clouds), gardening and Charlie Brown’s escapade.

Schulz, who drew the “Peanuts” comic strip for nearly 50 years, was immensely curious, an avid reader and took a keen interest in the latest research findings in a variety of fields.

The show is organized and toured by the Charles M. Schulz Museum and Research Center in Santa Rosa, Calif.

The exhibition is free and will be open 8 a.m.-5:30 p.m. Monday–Friday, 10 a.m.-6:30 p.m. Saturday and noon-5 p.m. Sunday.

The Tower Gallery is located in the Grapevine Convention & Visitors Bureau Headquarters at 636 S. Main St.
