Sizzle Reel // Dí­a de los Muertos at Tacoma Art Museum

Here’s a look back at this year’s Dí­a de los Muertos Festival at the Tacoma Art Museum. Known in English as Day of the Dead, this life-affirming celebration of the eternal cycle of life has been observed for centuries. Day of the Dead combines ancient and colonial traditions, folk customs, and spiritual beliefs. Celebrated in Mexican and Latin American communities on November 1 and 2, Día de los Muertos is a powerful, symbolic way to honor relatives and friends who have died.
