Our exclusive menagerie of magical beast necklace pendant features our adorable Barn Owl from the museum’s John James Audubon watercolor. Inspired by a variety of beautifully illustrated owls in the collection of the New-York Historical Society, our coaster was created from works dating from 1548 to 1829, and include the Barn Owl by Isaac La Grese.
Harry Potter: A History of Magic at the New-York Historical Society is a celebration of the 20th anniversary of the publication of J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. The exhibition captures the wizarding traditions of folklore and magic at the heart of the Harry Potter stories through centuries-old treasures including rare books, manuscripts, and magical objects from the collections of the British Library and New-York Historical Society—with original material from Harry Potter publisher Scholastic and J.K. Rowling’s own archives.
