The history and meaning of the creatures of the Harry Potter franchise. Where do hippogriffs come from? Mythology doesn’t really have Norwegian Ridgeback Dragons – but what did Norwegian dragons look like? Do basilisk legends get weirder than in the books? (Spoiler: They sure do!) And werewolves, and house elves, and more besides!
Two (shorter) Monster Sciences for the price of one! “The Monsters of the MIA” – a complete history of the mythological creatures depicted in the art of Minneapolis’ premier fine art museum! And “A World Full of Monsters” – the monsters of the films of Guillermo del Toro! Both shows that have only appeared at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, brought back to life to terrorize the living!
