Attraction in Greenwich
Small is beautiful!
The exquisite Fan Museum, unique in the world, combines a classic
location with the height of elegance to provide an ideal setting of
great character for smaller functions.
The Fan Museum is the only museum in the world entirely dedicated to the
history of fans. It is housed in beautifully restored 18th century
townhouses and provides a superb example of early Georgian domestic
architecture. This independent museum has received awards from the
National Art Collections Fund and the British Tourism Authority for its
outstanding contribution to the arts and tourism and has been described
as "an oasis of tranquillity" and "an artistic and architectural gem".
At the rear of the two houses, the elegant Orangery with its hand
painted murals has an enchanting and peaceful atmosphere. It overlooks a
Japanese style garden preceded by a formal French parterre. In the
evening guests have exclusive use of the entire museum and can enjoy a
private tour of the temporary exhibition. The museum provides the
perfect setting for intimate dinners, stylish drinks receptions,
christenings, weddings, and board meetings.
