Explore the Collections

Gathered from across the world, our diverse collections span 1,000+ years of fan history & culture.

In addition to the material displayed in the Museum, you can also browse The Fan Museum Trust collection online. The Museum’s digital database is an ongoing project and staff are working toward improving entries, adding images, rectifying errors & updating research findings at regular intervals. Should you notice any inaccuracies or would like to suggest additions to existing copy, please email the Museum’s curatorial team.

Please note the Hélène Alexander Collection is not available via our online collections database.
