Día de los Muertos Celebrations at the Milwaukee Art Museum

The Milwaukee Art Museum is hosting a festive afternoon celebrating Día de los Muertos, inviting families and friends to come together and honor this meaningful tradition. You'll spend time enjoying hands-on art activities and performances while contributing to a community ofrenda—a traditional altar created collectively by visitors. It's a welcoming, interactive way to experience and learn about the holiday's beauty and cultural significance. This drop-in event is free for museum members and free with regular admission, making it accessible for most families. There's no need to register in advance; simply arrive during the event window and participate in whatever activities interest you. Whether your kids are eager artists, performers, or simply curious about different cultures, there's plenty to engage with throughout the afternoon.
