“Join us on Saturday, October 26th as we celebrate Día de los Muertos by transforming the Museum and its surroundings into a beautiful space to remember our departed loved ones. Día de los Muertos is a time to honor loved ones who no longer walk this Earth. With flowers, food, and drinks, we await the joyful return of their souls.
On this special day at the Museum, guests can enjoy ofrendas created by community members, live musical performances, and art activities. At dusk, guests are welcomed to observe the illuminated ofrenda projecting the dearly departed larger than life. Bring your family and learn about this time-honored Mexican tradition.”
