Complete the sentence about Spoliarium with the correct year: A newly restored Spoliarium was then unveiled in the Hall of Flags of the Department of Foreign Affairs in December ______.

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A. 1962

The Spoliarium is the large painting by Juan Luna of dying gladiators, now kept in the National Museum of Fine Arts in Manila. After relining and cleaning by Antonio Dumlao, the restored painting was unveiled at the Hall of Flags of the Department of Foreign Affairs in December 1962. The painting was cleaned again in 1982 and restored in 2005, so 1932 and 1959 do not match the unveiling date.
