Celebrate life by honouring the dead. Join the Museum of Wellington City & Sea and the Mexican community to celebrate Day of the Dead with these great events.

Community Altar - From Saturday 29 October to Monday 7 November add personal items such as photographs and poems to the community altar in order to honour a loved one. These altars are built with the cultural belief that spirits briefly return to earth in order to maintain a connection with the living and re-experience the sensory world.

Talk by Claudia Arozqueta - On Wednesday 2 November at 6pm, join Claudia, Curator of Enjoy Public Art Gallery, to hear about how death became a concept intimately related to Mexican culture and how it influences contemporary art. Then enjoy some margaritas and Mexican hot bread.
