Musée de l'Éventail, Fan museum in 10th arrondissement of Paris, France.
The museum displays over 2,500 fans within a Henry II style salon featuring a monumental fireplace and gold-threaded blue wall coverings.
The museum occupies the former Lepault & Deberghe fan makers' showroom from 1893, which was purchased by Hervé Hoguet in 1960 and transformed into a museum in 1993.
The collection presents fans crafted from mother-of-pearl, ivory, tortoiseshell, horn, and precious woods, demonstrating French craftsmanship from the 16th to 20th centuries.
The museum opens Monday through Wednesday from 2 PM to 6 PM, with access through the Strasbourg-Saint-Denis metro station.
The workshop continues to produce fans for opera, theater, cinema, and haute couture under the direction of Master Artisan Anne Hoguet.

Paris has many themed museums that go beyond the usual tourist circuits. The underground sewer system has been open for visits since the 19th century, allowing visitors to see the technical installations that revolutionized urban hygiene. The fan museum houses over 2,500 pieces from the Renaissance to today, explaining traditional manufacturing techniques. The counterfeiting museum compares authentic products with copies to highlight issues of intellectual property. The Parisian collections cover a variety of fields: Asian art at the Guimet Museum with 45,000 objects from the Neolithic to the 20th century, African and Oceanian cultures at Quai Branly, fairground artifacts from the 19th century at Arts Forains, old automata and magic devices from past centuries. The Museum of Hunting and Nature is housed in a 17th-century townhouse and combines antique weapons with modern designs. These institutions offer unique insights into the social, technical, and artistic history of Paris.
