Collection de l'art brut, Art museum in Lausanne, Switzerland.
The Collection de l'Art Brut exhibits thousands of works created by self-taught artists who produce art outside traditional artistic boundaries and formal training.
French artist Jean Dubuffet established this museum in 1976 after donating his personal collection of unconventional artworks to the city of Lausanne.
The museum presents drawings, paintings, and sculptures by individuals from diverse backgrounds, including those who experienced social isolation or mental health conditions.
Located near the Beaulieu district, the museum welcomes visitors from Tuesday to Sunday between 11:00 AM and 6:00 PM with bus lines 2, 3, and 21 stopping nearby.
Each exhibited piece demonstrates raw creativity without influence from conventional art education, representing genuine expressions of human imagination and emotion.
