Collection de l'Art Brut (Paris)

The Collection de l'Art Brut, located in Paris, is a museum dedicated to showcasing "raw" or outsider art created by individuals outside the mainstream art world. It features works by self-taught artists, often with no formal training, who produce art driven by personal expression, mental health conditions, or outsider perspectives. Founded by French artist Jean Dubuffet in 1948, the collection aims to celebrate authentic creativity unfiltered by academic standards or commercial influences. It provides insight into unique inner worlds and highlights the importance of raw, spontaneous artistic expression.
