The Fan Museum in Greenwich, London is indeed wonderful. I used to live the other side of Greenwich Park from it so am very familiar with the area. Please note that the website says: "The Fan Museum will be closed for refurbishment from January 7th 2011 to February 8th 2011. " So be careful when you plan to visit.
For us lacemakers it is best visited when lace fans are on display and you can check the current exhibit at: http://www.fan-museum.org/exhibdetails.asp?exhibID=29 A quick glance back on their sites shows lace ones being exhibited in 2002 http://www.fan-museum.org/exhibdetails.asp?exhibID=3 Greenwich is easily accessible by train or boat (or even bus) from central London. There is also plenty for the non-lacemaker to see within very easy walking distance of this museum: The Cutty Sark, the National Maritime museum, the Queen's House, the planetarium, the international time-line, the Ranger's House Sue [email protected] - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
