Día de los Muertos at the Wex

Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is a vibrant Mexican cultural celebration honoring loved ones who have passed away. At the Wexner Center, families can expect immersive art installations, traditional altars (ofrendas), crafts, and educational displays that explain the holiday's rich history and spiritual meaning. It's a respectful, colorful introduction to this important tradition—not spooky or Halloween-themed, but rather joyful and reflective. Kids learn about Mexican heritage while engaging with music, food, and hands-on activities that make the celebration tangible and memorable.
