Amateur or just curious, set off on a discovery of funny, bewildering, fascinating, intriguing or even disturbing creations. Our favourite? Undoubtedly Lausanne artist Aloïse and her lovely ladies with large blue eyes that have always made me dream. You won’t come out of it unchanged.
This intimist museum, nestled in the 18th century Beaulieu Castle, displays the works of self-taught artists. Go there for the out-of-the-ordinary atmosphere and discoveries!
More info
Located at the Château de Beaulieu in the heart of Lausanne, the Collection de l'Art Brut is a unique museum in Switzerland. Founded by the French artist Jean Dubuffet, it brings together works by self-taught artists who were not part of traditional artistic circuits and who often lived in internments, prisons or in social isolation. The 18th-century château once belonged to the Mingard family and has welcomed prestigious guests such as Jacques Necker and Jules Michelet. As unusual as its collections, the château invites visitors to rethink their relationship with art through permanent and temporary exhibitions.
The Collection de l’Art Brut regularly participates in cultural events and offers free admission on the first Saturday of the month.
