The Collection de l’Art Brut, located at Avenue des Bergières 11 in the Beaulieu district of Lausanne, is a unique museum in the world dedicated to art brut: works by self-taught artists, often marginalized, without academic training or influences from mainstream culture, collected and donated by Jean Dubuffet to the city in 1971.

The museum spaces, set up in an elegant 18th-century château, house over 70,000 works by about 400 “authors”, including Aloïse Corbaz, Adolf Wölfli, Augustin Lesage, and Laure Pigeon. The permanent collection includes paintings, sculptures, assembled fabrics, collages, and objects made of unusual materials, all characterized by an authentic and intense expressive force. The venue exudes an intimate and contemplative atmosphere, where each work is accompanied by biographies that allow for an understanding of the artist's emotional context.
