About The Fan Museum
The Fan Museum is the only organisation of its kind devoted entirely to the multifaceted history, culture and artistry of the fan. The Museum is small-scale and Independent.
The Fan Museum owes its existence to the vision of its two Founders, Hélène Alexander MBE (a world authority on fans) and her late husband, ‘Dickie’ A.V Alexander OBE. The Alexanders strived to create a museum unlike any other: one which maintains a special atmosphere redolent of times past and where visitors of all ages and backgrounds are similarly welcomed like members of an extended family. During the past thirty years the Museum and its small team of curatorial staff has staged more than eighty fan-themed exhibitions covering a bewildering variety of fan-related topics – World cultures, Classical history & Art Deco to name but a few – and welcomed in excess of 300,000 visitors.
The Fan Museum Details
- Open to the public since 1991, The Fan Museum is the only organisation of its kind devoted entirely to the history, culture and craft of the fan. Our award-winning Museum is small-scale, Independent, and accredited by Arts Council England.
- Situated within the World Heritage Site of Greenwich, London, a pair of beautifully restored Grade II* Listed early Georgian period townhouses are the perfect setting for our extraordinary collections.
- The Fan Museum boasts a captivating reproduction of a Georgian Orangery, an artistic gem adorned with interior murals painted by the artist Jane Barraclough.
- With its enchanting Trompe L’oeil effect, the Orangery provides an atmosphere of culture and elegance without equal in this part of London.
- Aptly designed and built onto the back of houses to 'marry' them together, the Orangery is an idyllic and intimate space designated for private hire, and an ideal space in which to get married.
- We believe in the accessibility of such a treasure to all prospective attendees, thus a portable ramp and key-operated lift are readily available onsite.
