La Fabuloserie, Art brut museum in Dicy, France.
La Fabuloserie is an art brut museum in Dicy displaying over 1000 works of unconventional art within a house setting and outdoor garden with landscape sculptures. The building contains multiple exhibition rooms that open onto grounds filled with three-dimensional creations and installations.
Architect Alain Bourbonnais founded the museum in 1983 after relocating his collection from the Atelier Jacob gallery in Paris. This move established a permanent home for art brut on the countryside, giving the collection new context and reach.
The collection features works by French self-taught artists including laborers and farmers who created art beyond academic traditions. These pieces reveal the inventive spirit and creativity of people working outside formal art institutions.
The main building has wheelchair access on the ground floor, though upper levels may present challenges for visitors with mobility issues. The outdoor grounds are best explored on foot and require comfortable shoes due to uneven terrain.
Every hour, the mechanical sculpture Manege Petit Pierre, crafted from scrap metal, performs an animated display for visitors. This working art installation combines mechanical skill with theatrical entertainment.
