The Albert Anker Centre
A nineteenth-century artist’s house
The Centre Albert Anker in Ins comprises the historic Anker family residence with the artist’s studio and the newly built art pavilion in the garden, which serves as a venue for special exhibitions and conservation of the collection.
The reception area, located in the former barn of the Anker House, is the starting point for your journey into Anker’s world. The permanent exhibition, spread over two floors, presents the artist’s life and work in thematic sections. The exhibition is bilingual, supported by audiovisual media, self-explanatory and can be visited individually without a guided tour from March to November.
A tour of the house conveys the bourgeois lifestyle of the Anker family, with largely original interior furnishings. One attraction is the unique and almost unchanged studio in the attic. The house and studio can only be visited on a guided tour.
The art pavilion, where original works from the foundation’s collection are preserved, is also the venue for special exhibitions that reveal further facets and unknown sides of Anker.
