The Museum aims to promote naïve artists,
support arts education, improve appreciation of Naïve Art
and make it available to a wider public. Thus it offers several
reference works, both for amateurs and specialists.
The MIDAN is a non profit association ;
all revenues coming from selling books or objects are
used for the financing and development of the Museum and
the promotion of Naïve Art in the world. |
