About Fantastic Beasts™: The Wonder of Nature
Combining the creative power of film, television, literature and science, Fantastic Beasts: The Wonder of Nature is a partnership between the Natural History Museum, the BBC and Warner Bros Consumer Products. It celebrates beasts in all their forms, both real and mythical, including those created by J. K. Rowling through her stories and in the Fantastic Beasts film series.
This spectacular exhibition at London’s Natural History Museum – the most ambitious to date – will showcase creatures from the natural and mythical worlds as well as the Wizarding World. Some of the objects will be on public display for the very first time (details below).
Visitors will learn about J.K. Rowling’s character Newt Scamander, Magizoologist, author and authority on fantastic beasts. They will discover the links between legendary beasts described by Newt next to specimens and historic objects from the Museum’s world-leading scientific collection. For an extra touch of magic, the exhibition will have digital installations created in collaboration with the special effects company Framestore.
Comparing behaviours such as the camouflage tactics of a jaguar to those of the Wizarding World’s Demiguise and the mating rituals of the peacock spider to the Wizarding World’s Erumpent, visitors will be enchanted by what they see. They will come face to face with a giant oarfish, the world’s longest bony fish. This incredible deep sea animal is thought to be the inspiration for mythical sea serpents around the world.
Keeping the Museum’s new strategy to 2031 front of mind, this exhibition takes insight from dedicated conservationists and scientists. Inspired by Newt’s commitment to the beasts in his world, visitors will leave with a clear understanding of why it is more important than ever to care for and protect the rich biodiversity of our planet.

People of all ages have been enthralled by these extraordinary adventures, set within an expanding universe, inspired by the vision of J.K. Rowling.
