Last alter shown here though there were many many more at the National Museum of Mexican Art.

Another alter…

According to the museum info there were 90 alters. It was very moving to step into the space they created. Not sad, but moving.

Chicago hosts the National Museum of Mexican Art – and it’s all free. The museum sets up the Dia de los Muertos celebration on the grounds every year as well.

Have you seen the film Coco? I thought at first the paper cuttings that were in the intro were created for the movie. Sorry! I’m Danish. We don’t know much about Day of the Dead.
