History and existence

The red brick building designed by Roland Simounet was restructured by Manuelle Gautrand from 2006 to 2009 and supplemented with an extension for Art brut . Recesses that are reminiscent of Mashrabiyyas , the carved wooden lattice windows in traditional Arab architecture , were made in the facade of the new building made of white-gray exposed concrete .

The industrialist and art collector Jean Masurel (1908–1991) and his wife Geneviève laid the foundations for the founding of the museum with the donation of their collection of Cubists , Surrealists and other paintings in 1979 . Another large donation was made in 1999 with the Art-brut collection of 3,500 works by the non-profit organization Aracine to the Lille city association.
