12:02pm Tuesday 23rd February 2010 in
THE use of the lyre in decorative art and the erotic connotations of bagpipes in 17th century Dutch paintings are just some of the subjects explored in The Fan Museum's latest exhibition.
The Music of the Fans celebrates all things musical and features a number of pieces from the Greenwich museum's extensive collection.
Artwork on show includes a fan painted by the English Impressionist painter Walter Sickert for one of his pupils and a wooden fan featuring a scene from Gilbert and Sullivan’s comic opera HMS Pinafore.
The exhibition opens next Thursday and runs for four months.
The Music of the Fans. The Fan Museum, Crooms Hill, Greenwich. March 4 to July 4. 020 8305 1441.
