This summer, wander the historic Paine mansion filled with more than 100 Art Nouveau treasures! "The Triumph of Nature: Art Nouveau from the Chrysler Museum of Art" opens Saturday, June 13.

"The Triumph of Nature" features works by world-renowned artists like Louis Comfort Tiffany, Alphonse Mucha, and Émile Gallé presented as they were meant to be seen... in a home! Displayed throughout the mansion’s elegant rooms, discover a wide variety of Art Nouveau works, from furniture and glass to posters, sculpture, mosaic, and more.

Artists designed these works to complement each other in elaborate ensembles, and within the historic setting of the Paine, the exhibition offers a glimpse of how Art Nouveau interiors once felt: opulent, intricate, and flowing with movement and detail.

"The Triumph of Nature" is on view June 13 - October 4 at the Paine in Oshkosh. Learn more and make plans for a visit at thepaine.org.

"The Triumph of Nature: Art Nouveau from the Chrysler Museum of Art" is organized by the Chrysler Museum of Art, Norfolk, VA and toured by International Arts & Artists, Washington, DC.

Spring in the Paine gardens🌷🦆🌱

The Paine’s four acres of gardens are in peak bloom right now! Come for a stroll and breathe in the fresh spring air. Magnolias are open, bluebells and fritillaria add fun pops of color, and tulips brighten any day.

It’s the perfect time to wander the gardens. Make plans for a visit at thepaine.org.
