Paine Art Center and Gardens
Paine Art Center and Gardens, Tudor Revival estate and botanical garden in Oshkosh, United States.
The Paine Art Center spans across 3 acres featuring a mansion with art galleries and twenty outdoor garden rooms with diverse plant collections.
Construction of the estate began in 1927 for lumber baron Nathan Paine and his wife Jessie, but the Great Depression halted the work until 1946.
The estate displays French Barbizon school paintings, American artworks, sculptures, Persian rugs, and English decorative arts throughout its galleries.
The center welcomes visitors Tuesday through Sunday year-round, offering guided tours of both the mansion's art collection and the botanical gardens.
The Paine family established the estate as a non-profit organization before opening it to the public in 1948, never residing in the mansion themselves.
