Collection de l'Art Brut

Collection de l'Art Brut is a museum in Lausanne, Switzerland, dedicated to "Art Brut" or "Raw Art." This term refers to art created by self-taught artists, often outside traditional artistic conventions, such as those who are mentally ill or marginalized. Founded by artist Jean Dubuffet in the mid-20th century, the collection showcases works that express raw emotion and individuality. It aims to honor the creativity of those who may not fit within mainstream art, offering visitors a unique perspective on art's boundaries and the human experience.
