by · March 30, 2019

The graphic design duo behind some of the most magical art in the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts series, MinaLima, is bringing their House of MinaLima exhibition to Japan for an entire year!

Following their success at the Hankyu Osaka British Fair last year, Miraphora Mina and Eduardo Lima have announced that House of MinaLima will be returning to Osaka this April. Until early 2020, they will present their 18 years of creative collaboration at a location in Osaka’s Orange Street shopping district.

In addition to being able to see some of the art from the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts film series, fans will be able to purchase some of MinaLima’s designs. These include pieces from the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts films, as well as their illustrated classic books for HarperCollins Publishers and MinaLima’s own Collective Nouns series.

While we don’t know the exact opening date or location of MinaLima’s new pop-up yet, we can tell you that you won’t want to miss it!

If you can’t make it to Osaka, don’t worry! The House of MinaLima in London’s Soho is still in operation, and you can always find MinaLima’s designs online.
