The refurbishment of the East Bedroom was made possible with funding from the DCMS/Wolfson Foundation, the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation and the European Commission.
China at Harewood is in partnership with Leeds Metropolitan University.
China at Harewood is part of China in Yorkshire and China Now.
Leeds Museums and Galleries and The Chippendale Society (Temple Newsam House) have kindly loaned objects to the exhibition, 'Chinoiserie at Harewood'.
The refurbishment of the East Bedroom would not have been possible without the time and commitment of the following people:
