The Triumph of Nature: Art Nouveau from the Chrysler Museum of Art

The Triumph of Nature: Art Nouveau from the Chrysler Museum of Art is on view at the Paine Art Center and Gardens in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, from June 13 through October 4, 2026. The exhibition brings together roughly 120 of the finest Art Nouveau treasures from the Chrysler Museum of Art in Norfolk, Virginia. The collection spans the breadth of the Art Nouveau era, including furniture, paintings, sculpture, mosaic, books, posters, lamps, and art glass. Drawn largely from the holdings assembled by Walter P. and Jean Chrysler, the works showcase the movement's craftsmanship and its signature embrace of natural forms. Organized as a touring exhibition, the show offers Midwest visitors a concentrated look at the beauty and design of a period that reshaped the decorative arts at the turn of the 20th century.
