Mathers Museum of World Cultures celebrates Day of the Dead
Small white candles cast a soft light on photos dispersed around the table. Surrounding other ornamental items are multi-colored flowers and works of art of different media. Hanging on the wall above the altar is a blue, orange and pink papel picado, a line of tissue paper with small cut-out shapes. At the very top, a large heading looms overhead reading “Día de los Muertos.”
