    My favourite museum of all time is the "Collection de l'Art Brut" in Lausanne (Switzerland). It was started by a French painter, Jean Dubuffet, who got interested in art works done by people who were not "officially" artists. That means people with no art education no art diploma and often outside of the societal norms.

    These are people who create, they don't care why or how nor seek money. Some of the exhibits are daunting as they were made by prisoners or people suffering from dementia or people unable to tend for themselves. The art really tells a story, you don't have to analyse it, just look at it, take a few steps back and think; it's amazing.
