'Remember Me!' La Celebracion del Dia de Muertos


Dia de Muertos is a two day celebration throughout Mexico, and by people of Mexican ancestry on November 1st and 2nd. The festivities are designed to honor and remember the beloved dead. From its ancient roots as an Aztec frestival, to a holiday that has spread around the world, Dia de Muertos is a time to focus on family.


Dia de Muertos Honors Our Beloved Dead


'Remember Me! La Celebracion Del Dia de Muertos' explores the traditions of this important cultural festival through exquisite folk arts including bright papel picado, intricate sugar skulls and stunning paper sculptures familiar to families who regularly honor their ancestors. Guests will also find several pre-hispanic items on loan from several museums that showcase the development and early history of this celebration.


Colorfull Folk Art Fills The Gallery Space


The gallery exhibit is not only an appropriate display for this time of year in the Mexico Pavilion; but it ties in both scenes from the 'Gran Fiesta Tour' attraction housed within the Pyramid, and the upcoming Disney Pixar film "Coco."

The story of Coco follows a 12-year-old boy named Miguel who sets off a chain of events relating to a century-old mystery, and leading to an extraordinary family reunion. The idea for the tale was inspired by Dia de Muertos. Purchase your tickets in advance to Coco on Fandango. Coco opens everywhere November 22.


Coco Opens In Theaters November 22nd
