Movie Museums: Harry Potter - The Exhibition

9 Mar

Film Review heads to Philadelphia for the Wizarding World’s world premiere.

Featuring screen-used props and costumes, along with themed rooms and interactive elements for young muggles, the all-new behind-the-scenes exhibition celebrates the expanding Wizarding World of Harry Potter.

The 18,000-square-foot exhibition housed at the Franklin Institute features over twenty galleries representing iconic locations from the film franchise. As muggles explore each gallery, interactions are captured using ‘magic’ wristbands, which deliver unique experiences throughout each installation. The core of the exhibit is comprised of authentic props and original costumes from the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts films.

The Great Hall — “We are so excited to be partnering with Imagine Exhibition and bringing the magic to Philadelphia and officially opening the doors to this awe-inspiring interactive experience. This Exhibition is an incredible way for Wizarding World fans to celebrate the world of Hogwarts and beyond -- bringing them up close and personal with their favorite props, costumes, creatures, sets, and more.”

- Peter van Roden,
