The Zurich Kunsthaus is this year celebrating its 100th birthday in style.

Switzerland’s oldest combined collection and exhibition space opened in its late Jugendstil museum in 1910. The fine arts museum is showcasing its collection and mounting a major Picasso show in tribute to its tradition of key exhibitions.
