Art of the Fan

This unique collection of 250 fans is only the third of its kind in the world. The fan has a long history, dating back to the Far East, when they were used as symbols of status. Fans are often hand painted, and decorated with precious metals, making many of them as superior as works of art and jewellery. The museum displays a variety of styles, as well as showing the development of methods of production. Discover the interesting history of the fan!
