Discovery of the museum and the collection of Dr. Benjamin Pahectares

Discover an exceptional collection of 864 works collected by Dr. Benjamin Pahectares, psychiatrist at the Asile du Bon Sauveur in the early twentieth century.
Created between 1900 and 1936 by at least twenty-six inmate patients, these works show spontaneous creativity, without prior artistic training. Related to the art brut movement, the collection brings together sculpted objects, tools, drawings, school notebooks, letters and pasted embroidery notebooks.
Presented in floor-standing and wall-mounted display cases, the works reveal a great diversity of materials: limestone, wood, bone, paper, bread crumbs, wax, cloth or even ropes.
Housed in the cellars of the Château du Lude, former residence of bishops restored in 2004, the museum has hosted since 2008 the collection of Dr. Pacommas. Open to the public on certain dates and by appointment since 2011, it is managed by the association APAPA, Association Psychiatrie Art Patrimoine Albigeois.
Several works from this unique asian collection have been presented in major museums, including the Musée des Abattoirs in Toulouse, LaM in Villeneuve-d'Ascq, the Collection de l'Art Brut in Lausanne, and the Reina Sofia Museum in Madrid. at the CCCB in Barcelona and at the American Folk Art Museum in New York.

About the location

Fondation Bon Sauveur Alby

Occitanie

Entering from the street LAVAZIERE by the monumental door topped with a tympanum representing JESUS blessing children or by the boulevard of the LUDE, one is immediately seized by the size of the buildings and their beauty, Here no austerity but the view is clear by opening on beds creating a harmonious whole. Walking along the alleys we see, from the administrative entrance of the establishment, the entrance of the current Retirement House (not visitable) extended by its magnificent cloister (visible from the chapel) This building is crowned with a stone baluster that ends at each end by a pedestal surmounted by a very artistic stone vase. Then you pass by different buildings on the left and right , the rotunda, the emblematic old buildings to arrive at the château du Lude and below its museum of asilaire art (related to de l' Art Brut) and in front is the large chapel and the cloister (open to the public during heritage days) .
