The National Museum of Mexican Art presents Día de Muertos, Memories & Offerings. The exhibition opens with a reception and continues through Sunday, December 11th.

Our 36th Day of the Dead exhibition remembers the numerous individuals from Mexico and the U.S. who have died from COVID and other tragedies in the last year. Join us to experience this age-old tradition of honoring the lives of lost loved ones. Folk art, fine art and photography make up the exhibition, bringing to life one of Mexico’s most cherished celebrations. Artists from both sides of the U.S./Mexico border express a beautiful sense of continuity and culture during this season of remembering.
