The Metropolitan Museum of Manila launches the retrospective exhibition of the celebrated and beloved Spanish artist Betsy Westendorp titled "Passages". Over 100 artworks spanning more than sixty years of Ms. Westendorp's illustrious painting career form the retrospective collection curated by Dannie Alvarez, and featured in a catalogue written by art critic Cid Reyes. Her great body of works consists of portraits of the society elite of Madrid and Manila, her landscapes of Philippine terrain, seascapes of Manila Bay, her colorful celebration of Philippine flora, in particular the various species of the native orchid, and, literally in the sunset of her years, the grand symphonic cloudscapes across Philippine skies.
 
Join us in the virtual exhibition opening, which will feature a brief interview with the artist and a 3D virtual tour of the exhibition.
