El día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), an ancient Mexican celebration in which families reconnect with departed ancestors, provides a special opportunity to remember and celebrate the life and legacy of those who have moved ahead into the sacred lands of Mictlan, the realm of the "fleshless" or the dead. El día de los Muertos is observed Nov. 1 and 2, in connection with All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day. The MSU Museum celebration will enhance understanding of Mexican American culture while providing a unique opportunity to experience artistic expressions and traditions. In addition, faculty in the history department and other units at MSU will focus on the diverse Day of the Dead traditions in Mexico and the United States.
