Marie Antoinette — arguably the most fashionable queen in history — is celebrated in a sumptuous new exhibition that offers a feast for the senses and a rare delight for devoted admirers of the fan. Exquisite historic examples take pride of place alongside playful contemporary designs available to purchase, together with an elegant selection of fan-themed note cards.

 

‘Marie Antoinette’ is now on view at the Victoria and Albert Museum, where it will run until 22 March 2026.
