Día de los Muertos Celebrations at the Milwaukee Art Museum

Join your family for an afternoon honoring Día de los Muertos at the Milwaukee Art Museum. This drop-in celebration invites visitors to gather together and explore the rich traditions and beauty of this meaningful holiday. You'll find plenty to keep everyone engaged, including hands-on art activities where kids can create and learn, live performances, and the opportunity to contribute to a community ofrenda—a traditional altar space where families remember loved ones. The event runs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., so you can arrive whenever works best for your schedule. Admission is free for museum members, and other visitors can attend free with regular museum admission. No registration is required; simply show up and participate at your own pace. This is a wonderful way to experience cultural traditions together while enjoying interactive art experiences designed for families.
