The world's first museum dedicated to all matters pertaining to the fan houses an internationally renowned collection of fans, fan leaves and related material, including 17th century French fan leaves and important works by artists such as Paul Gauguin and Walter Sickert; thematic temporary exhibitions change approximately every 4 months. Of course, there is much more to this incomparable museum than fans alone! On Tuesday and Sundays from 3pm, visitors to the museum can enjoy a traditional afternoon tea served within the elegant surrounds of the museum's Orangery (booking advisable), whilst group tours, led by the museum's experienced curators, make for an entertaining yet educative way to see The Fan Museum and learn something of its history and of the art of fan-making. Afternoon tea or similar refreshments can also be arranged for group bookings.
