A small museum in Greenwich presents an engaging exhibition of decorated fans themed around the performing arts. The collection showcases creations that served as promotional items for concerts, plays, or decorative pieces inspired by theatrical events. Notable displays include fans tied to Buckingham Palace events and intricately decorated pieces with musical notations. Some fans acted as original autograph books, with signatures and musical scores drawn by musicians. The exhibit is designed to allow visitors to appreciate both sides of each fan, enhancing the viewing experience with mirrors and informative guidebooks.
The fans on display were made as promotional items for concerts and plays, or sometimes just decorative but inspired by performances, making them fascinating artifacts.
Fans used at performances often became autograph books, where musicians not only signed their names but also drew musical scores, cleverly merging art and function.
