Another video chronicles an abandoned bacchanal aboard the presidential yacht, celebrating the birthday of the youngest of the three Marcos offspring, Irene Araneta, last year.

...ller-Westermann assembled most of the exhibit's 150 oils, watercolors and graphic works from the Munch Museum's own vast collection, and added items from private collections and Stockholm's Moderna Museet, where she is the head of international art.
