Paine Art Center and Gardens

The Paine Art Center and Gardens is a historic museum located in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. The estate is known for its beautiful mansion, which serves as the centerpiece of the museum. While it employs six people, the Paine Art Center and Gardens generates over $10,000 in annual revenue. Visitors can explore the mansion's preserved interiors, which reflect the original vision of founders Nathan and Jessie Kimberly Paine. The museum boasts a diverse collection of art, much of it acquired by the Paine founders, showcased throughout the mansion's rooms and settings. In addition to the permanent collection, the Paine Art Center and Gardens hosts rotating art exhibitions that span from classical to contemporary styles. The museum also features outdoor display gardens, which serve as "galleries" of horticulture with a variety of designs and thousands of plant specimens. The Paine Art Center and Gardens offers a range of programs and events throughout the year. These include seasonal celebrations like "Nutcracker in the Castle" during the holidays, as well as educational programs and workshops held in the carriage house and conservatory. Visitors can immerse themselves in the arts, history, and beauty of the estate. For more information about the Paine Art Center and Gardens, please visit their website at thepaine.org.
