In Popular Culture
The opening sequence of the 1982 animated movie The Last Unicorn was designed in reference to the tapestries, with many elements such as the fountain and lions, as well as the overall style being extremely similar.
The seventh tapestry in the series appears briefly in Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, adorning the wall of a corridor near the Room of Requirement and the tapestry is seen in the various common rooms (Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff) with different colored backgrounds.
A few of the tapestries are seen in ABC's Once Upon A Time, a TV show set partially in a fairy tale world where every mythological creature and fairy tale character come together in one place.
In a dream sequence in the Season 4 finale of Adventure Time, the 'Captivity' tapestry can be seen behind Billy.

“For those that love the world serve it in action,
Grow rich, popular and full of influence,
And should they paint or write, still it is action:
The struggle of the fly in marmalade.”

“Sanity consists in not being subdued by your means. Fancy prices are paid for position, and for the culture of talent, but to the grand interests, superficial success is of no account.”
