Located in Château-d'Œx, Switzerland, the Musée du Pays-d'Enhaut & Swiss Centre for Paper Cutting is a museum of popular art founded in 1922. Its permanent collections present the history and daily life of the Pays-d'Enhaut valley, as well as the art of paper cutting (Scherenschnitt), including works by masters Jean-Jacques Hauswirth and Louis Saugy and contemporary paper-cut artists. The museum also hosts changing temporary exhibitions throughout the year.
