Explore Wisconsin's oldest and largest art gallery with over 6,000 works of art. Established in 1966 and housed in the historic Button Mansion built in 1875 on State Street at Prospect Ave.
Built by Edward Townsend Mix in 1875 for Dr. Henry Harrison Button, the Button Mansion is one of Milwaukee’s last standing Italian-style villas. It now houses the David Barnett Gallery, Wisconsin’s longest standing art gallery, housing over 6,000 artworks from all over the globe.
Visitors will be able to walk about the building’s first and second floors, witnessing the large collection of artwork stored within, as well as the current exhibition “The Splendor of Nature in Art”, showcasing landscape and nature themed artworks from the time of Rembrandt to the present. With a $5 donation to the David Barnett Gallery’s non-profit sector Artist Resource Transglobal (A.R.T.), visitors will be given tour access to the building’s rooftop, from which they can take in the scenic view of Milwaukee’s downtown and lake parks.
The David Barnett Gallery is Wisconsin’s premier gallery with the broadest range of art available in the region, including works of art that represent more than 600 artists. The gallery specializes in European and American masters, regional and nationally recognized artists and emerging artists. Also represented are artworks from Latin America and Asia, as well as Ethnographic art from Africa, Indonesia, and Oceania. The gallery has a national reputation for its extensive collection of Picasso ceramics and Milton Avery oil paintings.
The David Barnett Gallery also provides professional art consultations, appraisals, restoration and conservation, custom framing, lighting, custom giclée printing, delivery, and installation services. More information about our services here.
