Susan, my asst. told me that there is a hand-fan museum in London. She tried to find it on her trip to England but was unsuccessful. Maybe some of our London list members can give better directions to the museum and if they have been there, provide a review of the collection. Is it worth finding.
The Fan Museum is slightly outside the centre of London, and not really close enough for a quick visit if you are limited for time. It is at Croom's Hill, Greenwich and has a web site, which I don't have to hand. It is housed in two 18th century houses, with a small garden and does cream teas (!!!) Greenwich is a fascinating place for a day's visit any way - National Maritime Museum, markets, Cutty Sark, beautiful architecture - well worth it. And at the top of the hill in Blackheath is the Ranger's House housing a wonderful portrait collection from the very early 17th century Suzi -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ . _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
