RESERVE YOUR ALTAR

The Global Village Museum is now accepting altar reservations for its Day of the Dead exhibit opening Friday, Nov 1.  Dia de los Muertos, a holiday commemorated throughout Mexico, focuses on the remembrance of family members and friends who have passed away.  It is a festive occasion – a time to celebrate and honor those who made an impression on our lives.  GVM will pay tribute to the Day of the Dead by dedicating its Main Gallery to altars by the community, whether from individuals or organizations.  The altar, or ofrenda, need not necessarily be a memorial to a loved one.  GVM welcomes any structure or design that celebrates or honors what is important in one’s life.

Reservations will be accepted on a first come, first serve basis.
