They are used as great work slots and allow you to swap great works around. You will notice a color change when the slots are actually filled (look at your slot from the nation epic).
By matching the correct types of great works together, you will receive a special bonus (details given by the tooltip of the building).

Those are locations for your great works.
For each great work type, there are certain buildings that can hold it. If no buildings are available to hold a great work, you can't make them.
The buttons represent the spaces in the buildings and the great works in them.
In your picture, the palace has a great work of art in it. We can tell this because it is darkened (as is the great work of writing in your National Epic). The great work of art in your palace is selected (because it is highlighted in yellow). When selected, the next empty music location you click on is where the current work of art will move to. If there is already a great work there the two will swap locations.
If you click your great writing work (in the national epic) and then click on one of the slots in the Great Library, it will move there. If you hover your mouse over the Great Library's "+0" it will tell you what type of great work of writing you need for a theming tourism bonus.

They aren't buttons. They are slots into which a Great Work can be placed. The quill and inkwell slot is for a Great Work of Writing, the artist's palette is for Great Works of Art (or for Artifacts that your archaeologists dig up), and the musical note (not displayed in your screenshot) is for Great Works of Music.
The only ways to acquire Great Works is to (1) generate them by "bulbing" relevant Great Persons (Great Writers, Great Artists, Great Musicians -- collectively GWAMs), (2) acquire them from the AI by conquest, or (3) in the case of the Parthenon, just build the Partheon (comes with a free great work of art).
You can generate GWAMs in a manner similar to other Great Persons: (A) build the relevant guilds and work those specialist slots, (B) select a GWAM as your free Great Person from, e.g., the Liberty finisher, the Leaning Tower of Pisa or the Mayan Long-Count, (C) build a wonder that comes with a GWAM (e.g., Broadway comes with a Great Musician), (D) select the social policy that provides one Great Artist, or (E) if you have the right social policies or religious beliefs, buy GWAMs with faith starting in the Industrial Era.
