old AppleThunderboltDisplay

I have an old AppleThunderboltDisplay that I'd like to use with a new MacBook pro I am planning on buying. Can I get adaptors that would allow me to connect the two? If so what would they be?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.6

You need TB3 to TB2 adapter. I did what you are doing and it works fine.

You would need a mag to USB-c adapter like this:

What about the power cable from the Display to the new laptop? Is there an adaptor for that, or would I have to pug in the laptop to an independent source?
