Snoopy as the World War I Flying Ace

Snoopy as the World War I Flying Ace presents Charles M. Schulz’s lovable beagle, Snoopy, as his alter ego, the Flying Ace. The exhibit showcases 40 of Snoopy’s most exciting adventures in his transformed doghouse-now a Sopwith Camel airplane.

Snoopy as the World War I Flying Ace is organized by the Charles M. Schultz Museum and Research Center and is a program of ExhibitsUSA, a national division of Mid-America Arts Alliance and the National Endowment for the Arts.
