Celebrate
the arrival of �douard Manet's world-famous
painting, The Dead Toreador, with a Spanish-themed party
at WAM. The Museum will unveil Manet's masterpiece in the gallery,
and WAM Assistant Curator Nancy Burns will explain how Manet's
fascination with Spanish art and culture inspired him to create the
renowned painting of the slain
bullfighter.
The

costumes, will perform pulsating flamenco shows throughout the
evening. Visitors will also taste a delicious sampling of Spanish
tapas and wine. At 9pm in the Renaissance Court, Museum Director
