Día de los Muertos Celebrations at the Milwaukee Art Museum

The Milwaukee Art Museum is hosting a special Día de los Muertos celebration perfect for families looking to explore this meaningful cultural tradition together. You and your loved ones are invited to spend an afternoon filled with interactive art-making, live performances, and the opportunity to contribute to a community ofrenda—a traditional altar honoring loved ones. It's a welcoming way to experience the beauty and significance of this important holiday. The event is free for museum members and available with regular admission for other guests. There's no need to register in advance; simply drop in during the afternoon and participate in whatever activities appeal to your family. Whether your kids are interested in hands-on creativity, enjoying cultural performances, or learning more about the tradition, there's something for everyone to enjoy together.
