FANtastic museum! If you thought like me, that fans are only those made from paper when you were young , then you were very wrong. I was blown away to learn about the history of fans and the variety of these beautiful and elegant masterpieces. The collection has fans made out even from turtle shells
It was a really beautiful and informative place - it costs a few pounds for a ticket, but it’s worth it and you get a free audio guide tour with it.
There weren’t many people there at the time, but I still had some nice conversations about the fans with two friendly ladies
Small but lovely museum with great display of beautiful items. Comprised of 2 rooms, but don't let it fool you, it's a mine of knowledge about fans! The staff was very friendly and helpful and so easy to talk to! There is also very nice gift shop.
We recently held our wedding ceremony at the Fan Museum’s Orangery. The room is perfect for an intimate wedding and everyone loved it. Sophie has been superb in preparing for the event and made sure everything runs smoothly on the day itself. Thanks a lot for having us. Happy to recommend!
I have up to now only seen fans as props in period dramas. Visiting this museum has introduced me to a fascinating world! As well as the wonderful artefacts on display, the amazing staff make this a wonderful experience. As well as having an awesome knowledge their enthusiasm makes this a truly mem
Fans aren't just for keeping cool. They can be art! This museum has lots of pretty fans from different places and times. See if you can find the fanciest one.
Spent about an hour here, it was such a lovely experience! Staff were friendly aswell
There are so many beautiful fans to see alongside listening to an audio guide and reading the infoboxes on the side - learned quite a lot today
£5 is also a good deal for this place :) It's a lot smaller than mos
Very quaint little museum with frequently changing exhibitions. The staff were all very helpful and the audio guide was very informative. Probably takes no more than an hour to see everything.
Unbelievable place. Unbelievable collection. Worth visiting, the lady that owns the place is there, charming lady with lots of knowledge. Nice to find a museum for 5 pounds with so much history. Highly recommended.
Charming little museum - for £5 this is good value. We spent about 20 min but if you are near the Greenwich park or observatory and you like fans it's a delightful side trip.
One of the cheapest places in London to get high tea, dining area was very nice. Beautiful artwork, very nice/attentive waitresses, ALL the food was DELICIOUS. Museum itself was a little dull, only takes about 10ish minutes to go through & you paid for it so why not.
Most underrated museum in London, stunning examples of Fans through different periods and a delightful cafe underneath in the Orangery with the best high tea i've had. Great value for money!
The theme for this exhibition was 'Coronations and Celebrations'. It was amazing. It was worth going there. The staff members are all very friendly and welcoming. There is also a gift shop, I bought a fan bookmark
I absolutely love fans. I'm fans' biggest fan. Doesn't get any better than this. Can't believe I was in touching distance of so many majestic and thought-provoking fans. I hadn't been that excited since I saw the sock exhibition the other week. Awe inspiring.
The place is very nice and the people working there are very helpful and friendly. The exhibits on the first floor are also narrated and you can listen about their story and how they’re made.
Cool small museum specializing in fan- it’s the only fan museum in the world. Has a permanent exhibition in the ground and a variant in the first. The tea / orangery is very cool as well. Worth a visit
Great place to visit especially when it rains. National Trust members get in for half price. Enjoy a delicious afternoon tea down stairs in the Orangery for only £8.
Wonderful little gem hidden away in Greenwich. Small, but informative, fan display. Wonderful orangery, which is also a great tea room. Reasonable charges.
