About The Fan Museum
A small, independent and quietly brilliant museum just up the hill from Greenwich town centre. Its collections, gathered from across the world, span more than 1,000 years of fan history and exceed 7,000 objects, from a rare Elizabethan fan to Japanese court fans and a Fabergé fan, shown in changing exhibitions inside a pair of Grade II* listed early Georgian townhouses.
The museum also hosts talks, concerts and candlelit evenings. It's an easy hour on the way up to Greenwich Park.
Worth knowing
Why visit?
It's a genuine one-off: beautiful objects in a calm Georgian setting, for a modest ticket price.
