This summer, Asia's first stop of the special exhibition "Fantastic Beasts and the Natural World" makes a grand debut at Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, bringing an unprecedented fantasy journey. The exhibition combines the precious collections of the Natural History Museum of London, props from the "Harry Potter" and "Fantastic Beasts" film series, and models inspired by the magical world, immersing the audience in a mysterious atmosphere where magic and natural science intertwine.
As visitors step into the exhibition, they can explore legendary creatures and magical stories, all inspired by the natural world. For instance, the fantastic beasts in "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" share amazing similarities with real-life creatures, revealing how scientists, through their research, uncover these creatures' unique abilities, inspiring love, and protection for the natural world.
