The Fan Museum
With a National Art Pass you get
The Fan Museum is devoted entirely to the history, culture and craft of the fan, housing over 6,000 examples from across the globe.
Housed in the only museum in the UK devoted to the history of fans and the art of fan making, the 4,000 piece collection contains examples from around the world dating from the 12th century to the present day.
In July 2017, the Museum ran a highly successful Art Happens crowdfunding campaign to launch a pioneering project aimed at putting fan making back on the map. The £14,000 raised, supported the handcrafting of 60 fans for their Street Fans exhibition and enabled them to stage several project-linked events.
