This is a chance to see In Performance: Fans of Theatre, Music and Dance, a beautiful exhibition showing at one of London’s hidden gems: The Fan Museum in Greenwich. The exhibition presents a wide range of fans which portray and are a part of the performing arts. The fans of theatre focus strongly on the popularity of Commedia dell’Arte, a 16th century Italian form of theatre, depicting a troupe of characters including Harlequin, Colombine and Pierrot. While the section on dance emphasizes the use of fans as accessories to dance around the globe, such as dance cards, provide instruction for dancers or simply souvenirs of dance forms. This exhibition aims to take its audience on a journey of discovery, blending a diverse assortment of objects into- it is hoped- a coherent and thought-provoking whole. After a short introduction with the exhibition's curator, you will have time to look at the exhibition in close detail and enjoy refreshments in the musems beautiful Orangery. The Fan Museum is the only organisation of its kind devoted entirely to the multifaceted history, culture and artistry of the fan. The Museum is small-scale, Independent, and accredited by Arts Council England. Situated within the World Heritage Site of Greenwich, London, a pair of beautifully restored Grade II* Listed early Georgian period townhouses accommodate the Museum and its collections.

I love Greenwich, this is the most amazing place! I traveled with my partner and parents who were deeply impressed by the intricacies and beauty of the place. I can&rsquo;t wait to do it again and I think it will be a regular spot for our weekend walk now! My dream is to get married here!
