About this Event

Día de los Muertos

This immersive event goes beyond exhibition—it’s an invitation to reflect and remember. Students from Santa Monica High School, Venice High School, University High School, and Fairfax High School will present thoughtfully curated altars, each honoring the memories and legacies of ancestors, family, and friends. The evening will be filled with vibrant energy as student mariachi, dancers, and special performances bring the altars to life, culminating in the symbolic opening of the portals that welcome the spirits of the departed back into our world.

Visitors are encouraged to participate by adding photos of their loved ones to the altars, making this event a collective expression of remembrance and celebration. Día de los Muertos is a time when the veil between worlds grows thin, allowing us to reconnect with the loved ones who have shaped us. The museum invites the community to share in this joyous and reflective moment—where culture, history, art, and emotion intersect.

Special evening programming on November 1 and 2 begins at 5:00 pm. Join us for music, dance, and shared memories as the past and present unite in a powerful celebration of life and legacy.

Este evento inmersivo va más allá de la exposición: es una invitación a reflexionar y recordar. Los estudiantes de Santa Monica High School, Venice High School, University High School y Fairfax High School presentarán altares cuidadosamente seleccionados, cada uno de los cuales honrará los recuerdos y legados de antepasados, familiares y amigos. La velada estará llena de energía vibrante cuando los estudiantes de mariachi, bailarines y presentaciones especiales darán vida a los altares, culminando con la apertura simbólica de los portales que dan la bienvenida a los espíritus de los difuntos a nuestro mundo.

Se anima a los visitantes a participar añadiendo fotos de sus seres queridos a los altares, haciendo de este evento una expresión colectiva de recuerdo y celebración. El Día de los Muertos es un momento en el que el velo entre mundos se adelgaza, permitiéndonos reconectarnos con los seres queridos que nos han formado. El museo invita a la comunidad a compartir este momento alegre y reflexivo, donde la cultura, la historia, el arte y la emoción se cruzan.

La programación especial nocturna del 1 y 2 de noviembre comienza a las 5:00 p.m. Únase a nosotros para disfrutar de la música, el baile y los recuerdos compartidos mientras el pasado y el presente se unen en una poderosa celebración de la vida y el legado.
