“There he is! There he is! It’s the Great Pumpkin! He’s rising out of the pumpkin patch!!!” *swoon, faint* - Linus

This new poster by Eric Robison, published by Dark Hall Mansion, celebrates the classic 1966 animated special, It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. We were lucky to work with such a talented artist and devoted Peanuts fan.

Add Guinness to a beer mug, add scoops of vanilla ice cream, and top with Kahlua and chocolate syrup. Garnish with cherries.

A peek into the Museum archives!

When the Hayden Planetarium first opened in October 1935 at the American Museum of Natural History, it was only the fourth planetarium in the United States. Inside the 75-foot dome, many New Yorkers saw, for the first time, all of the stars visible to the unaided eye, as well as the Sun, Moon, planets, and our spiral galaxy, the Milky Way.

“No dweller in cities has ever seen the stars in such splendor,” read a report from The New York Times. “Out of nothingness the heavens, with their seeming myriads of stars, spring into view as though one had been a privileged witness to their very creation.”

The Museum held a poster contest shortly before the Hayden Planetarium opened, and more than 3,500 high school students were invited to compete for a chance to have their poster exhibited at the Museum. Above is an example of one of the prize-winning entries.
