This museum is really fascinating. The only one where I read all the comments about artists. Seems king of small but finally, you'll be there for like 2hours. They have a huge collection. Only problem : parking. Don't go when there's a festival, you won't be able to park anywhere. Otherwise, there's a parking 300 before the museum.

Different stuff! A good choice of material. Several floors of exhibition. We did not see many other visitors.

An extraordinary voyage in a very beautiful museum. You will see the pieces of different artists who have developped their talents "hiding" from the society or from the normal art channels.

The Art Brut museum houses art from the weird and wonderful.

It is outsider art at its best, with short biographies in French and English about each artist, and enough room to walk around and see the works you find intriguing. It takes at least 2 hours, and even then you haven't seen it all -... More

As the description on the official site of the museum states, the collection consists of works of art by people untouched by artistic culture, often never published or known of before the death of the artist. This means that the subjects are unusual, the techniques less exercised but the result nevertheless fascinating. The best museum in Laussane, and a very... More

I arrived to this place because I had a friend who is always looking for the local, strange places in every town. And I think for a change she was totally right about this place! It is a museum where the paintings, sculptures and art in general are made by either war veterans traumatized by the war/violence, or by mentally... More
