Nathan Dunn (1782 in Salem County, New Jersey – 1844 in Switzerland) was an American businessman and philanthropist notable for his vast collection of Chinese artifacts of significant educational value. It was displayed as Chinese Museum in Philadelphia in 1838, and in London in 1842 and 1851, where it was auctioned, finding its way to British artists and designers eager to employ new ideas.
