Bern's Museum of Fine Arts is staging a retrospective on Albert Anker (1831-1910).

The exhibition marking the centenary of the death of Albert Anker includes paintings, drawings, water colours and porcelains. Anker lived in Ins in canton Bern and in Paris. Much of his work features ordinary moments of village life where different generations come together.
