The Open Art Museum in St. Gallen, Switzerland, is supported by the Stiftung für schweizerische Naive Kunst und Art Brut. Simone and Peter Schaufelberger-Breguet dedicated two decades to leading the museum and foundation, assembling an extensive collection. In 2008, Peter Schorer became board chair, with Monika Jagfeld as director. After 14 years, he passed the role to former St. Gallen mayor Thomas Scheitlin in 2021. Renamed The Open Art Museum in 2023, it showcases and preserves Swiss and international naïve art, art brut, outsider art, and rural naïve art by self-taught artists. In recent years, it has become a leading institution exploring the borderlands of mainstream art.
