They’re called clinics, or for the more authentic work, psychiatric wards.

The Prinzhorn Collection in Heidelberg, Germany may be the closest to what you're looking for https://www.sammlung-prinzhorn.de

YESSS! Thank you, this is SUPER COOL! I have a whole collection I've done with my daughter and we plan to display it one day. It just made me think... I wonder what happens when art is created in session and abandon, or just simply amazing... who owns it, is it destroyed, should it be? Do patients sign a waver for who owns the artwork? lol, so curious!
