Día de los Muertos Celebrations at the Milwaukee Art Museum

Join your family at the Milwaukee Art Museum for an afternoon celebrating Día de los Muertos, a meaningful tradition honored across Latin American cultures. This drop-in event invites visitors to enjoy hands-on art activities and live performances while contributing to a community ofrenda—a beautifully decorated altar space created collectively by guests. The celebration is free for museum members and included with regular admission for other visitors. There's no need to register in advance; simply arrive during the event window and participate at your own pace. It's a wonderful opportunity for families to learn about the holiday's significance while engaging in creative activities together in the museum's welcoming environment.
