The Snoopy Museum was moved from Roppongi to Minami Machida Grandberry Park last summer. Standing double the size of the original museum and being completely revamped, it has finally been announced that it will open its doors on December 14, 2019.
Tickets for the first two days of the opening will be put through a lottery system with lucky attendees being selected randomly. Sign-ups for these tickets opened on Tuesday.
The revamped Snoopy Museum will house a variety of brand-new permanent exhibitions, just like the Charles M. Schulz Museum and Research Center which is dedicated to the works of Peanuts creator Charles M. Schulz. There will also be a theatre with four large screens showing the life of Schulz and his career, his illustration techniques, and more. There will also be an area jam-packed full of vintage goods as well as exhibits of the Peanuts gang including Charlie Brown. Fans can also look forward to the Snoopy Room where they will be welcomed by the 8-meter long Sleeping Snoopy.

As well as permanent exhibits, the museum will also showcase limited-time ones too, including borrowed works from the Charles M. Schulz Museum like original illustrations. Limited-run exhibits will change every 6 months. The first of these is entitled “The Beagle Scouts Arrive!” as pictured below.

Sanrio launched its #HelloGlobalGoals (#HelloSDGs) co-project with the United Nations at the UN headquarters on September 24 which sees their popular character Hello Kitty helping to spread the words about Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a set of 17 global goals established by the United Nations General Assembly in 2015 to be reached by the year 2030. This includes “No Poverty,” “Zero Hunger,” “Climate Action” and so on. Since September last year, Hello Kitty has been helping to promote SDGs on her YouTube channel as part of Japan's involvement in the global efforts. The UN recognised this, and had Hello Kitty join them at the headquarters in New York at the SDG Media Zone presentation, which was attended by people around the world, where they announced #HelloGlobalGoals. Hello Kitty dressed up in the SDG promotional colours and appeared alongside Amina Mohammed, the Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations, who expressed her wish for more people around the world to come to learn about SDGs, as well as to create a world where everybody can get along harmoniously and with kindness. At the event, all 17 goals were showcased on a huge art piece featuring Hello Kitty to break the project down and make it easier for people to understand. Up to now, Hello Kitty has posted videos about what Japan has been doing for the SDGs on her channel, but now she will begin posting about countries around the world at the behest of Amina Mohammed in a new video series as shown above. Hello Kitty's dress for the #HelloGlobalGoals is rainbow-coloured, representing each of the goals. This is the dress she will wear for her forthcoming SDG promotional activities. Join Hello Kitty in her mission to spread word about SDGs and the #HelloGlobalGoals project. ©️‘76,’19 SANRIO -
