A new exhibition has opened in Manila of artwork that once belonged to former Philippine First Lady Imelda Marcos.
The exhibits were repossessed by the government, which says she bought them with stolen state funds.
And while the display is a chance to see the work of renowned masters, for some, it is a reminder of the corrupt government of the current president's father.
Al Jazeera's @Barnaby Lo reports from Manila, Philippines.
