About

The Fan Museum in Greenwich is the world's only museum dedicated entirely to fans and fan-making. Housed in two elegant Georgian townhouses, the museum displays over 5,000 fans from the 11th century to the present day.

Rotating exhibitions showcase the artistry, craftsmanship, and social history of fans from around the world.

The museum features a Japanese-style garden with a fan-shaped parterre and offers afternoon tea with views of the tranquil garden.

A unique and charming museum exploring an often-overlooked art form.
