 Harewood has been created by generations of artists and designers using the technology available to them in their era. From 'Capability' Brown's parkland to Thomas Chippendale's furniture, Turner's landscapes to Angelica Kaufmann's decorative panel paintings Harewood is rich with source material to inspire children and young people.
