The Fan Museum is pleased to announce that a fan from it collections has made it onto the Teaching History with 100 Objects list.
This innovative project, developed by the British Museum and other cultural organisations across the UK, harnesses the power of objects to motivate young people’s interest in history and to provide teachers with resources to inspire their students’ study of events and people in the past.
