Late Wednesdays: October

October 7, 2026, 5:00 – 8:00 pm National Museum of Mexican Art

Join us at Late Wednesdays and enjoy the Museum after hours with extended access to the galleries and gift shop. Stroll through the exhibitions, pick up a unique gift, and take in the art in a more relaxed setting.

This month, we’re preparing for Día de Muertos Xicágo, the Museum’s community celebration for Day of the Dead, and we’re inviting our community to help us make decorations. Learn to make tissue paper flowers with us and help ensure that Día de Muertos Xicágo is beautifully decorated and as vibrant as ever. When you’re done, visit Where Memory Lives: 40 Years of Día de Muertos and fully immerse yourself in this beautiful Mexican tradition.
