We have been delighted by the success of our topical exhibition, Coronations & Celebrations, which has drawn visitors from far and wide to enjoy some very special collection pieces here at The Fan Museum. May is, of course, the month of the big event that inspired this exhibition, and so here are some updates on what to expect from us over the next few weeks.

Sephardi Voices UK was founded with the mission to record the experiences of the Sephardi and Mizrahi Jews from the Middle East, North Africa and Iran who settled in the UK. Our filmed interviews document the fascinating history, rich culture and vibrant traditions of the communities our interviewees left behind.

Our hugely popular fan-making workshops relaunch this season for the first time since March 2020!

A Life of Ups and Downs is now available to purchase at The Fan Museum for £25.00 per copy.

Following on from the success of last year’s opening season of Talking Fans we are pleased to announce the start of Season II of Talking Fans, comprising four online presentations for Spring/Summer 2022. Delivered by the Museum’s expert curatorial staff, each of the talks will cover a different aspect of the multi-layered history, culture, and artistry of the fan.

The Fan Museum is delighted to announce the launch of a new partnership with Art UK, the ‘online showcase for art in every UK public collection’.  The project facilitates broader digital access to the Museum’s outstanding collections and spotlights our treasures on a platform which attracts a global audience of art, history and culture enthusiasts.
