The open art museum is a competence center for Swiss Naive Art and Art Brut. The aim of the supporting foundation is to promote interest in the various areas of Outsider Art. In the field of tension between Art Brut and Naïve Art, the exhibitions and collection encompass works from artistic border areas. Detached from academism and the regular art world, their creators develop their inner visual worlds, visions and cosmologies.

Almost all artists of Art Brut, Outsider Art and Naïve Art are self-taught. Ideas, feelings and longings are put down on paper with surprising certainty, worlds are formed and built from a wide variety of materials. A non-conformist and individual art full of life and stories that captivates with its versatility, unusual content and inventiveness. The museum organizes special exhibitions and also shows changing groups of works from the foundation's collection.
