Fan museum

The Fans Museum in London is a small but very interesting museum dedicated to old air conditioners. The museum is located in a house built in 1721, and it was opened in 1991. Today, the museum has more than 4 thousand exhibits, among which there are very ancient and the most modern, brought from all over Europe and even from Asia.

The Fans Museum in London is located in the historic part of the city, in Greenwich, it is easy to find. The oldest exhibit of the museum is a fan made in the X century. However, most of the collection consists of fans and opahalas of the XVIII-XIX centuries - a time when their manufacture and use was at the peak of popularity. Here you can learn about the history of the fan, the process of their manufacture, as well as the possibility of their use. At the time of the popularity of fans, their functions could be different, and the fan itself was an important accessory to the ladies’ toilet.

Some specimens are of great value, decorated with precious metals or stones. Therefore, the entire collection of the museum, despite its apparent carelessness and lightness, still has value. Every three years, the exposition of the museum changes, some fans need restoration and maintenance of their appearance. In the courtyard of the Fans Museum there is a traditional Japanese garden, perhaps because the birthplace of the fan is Japan. There is also a cafe where you can rest after a tour of the museum.
