From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Paine Art Center and Gardens (3 acres) is a historic mansion with art galleries and botanical gardens located at 1410 Algoma Boulevard, Oshkosh, Wisconsin. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is open Tuesday-Sunday throughout the year; an admission fee is charged.
The Tudor Revival mansion was built in 1927 for lumber baron Nathan Paine and his wife, Jessie Kimberly Paine, with three art galleries surrounded by fine gardens.
The house contains French Barbizon school and American paintings, sculptures, and decorative woodworkings, Persian rugs, tapestries, and English and American silver and china. Its formal garden is patterned upon that of Hampton Court Palace; the Rose Garden features 100 rose varieties.
