Join us for a captivating evening as we delve into the rich traditions and vibrant folk festival that is the Mexican Day of the Dead at the Übersee-Museum Bremen. On November 2nd, from 5 PM to 10 PM, this unique event will offer a variety of activities for all ages.
Admission for adults is 12 euros, and for children, it's 6 euros. The evening will feature a short tour and talk, explaining the fascinating traditions surrounding the Mexican Day of the Dead, as well as the beautifully decorated altars that are a central part of the celebration.
Visitors will have the opportunity to participate in hands-on workshops, where they can craft Cempasúchil paper flowers for the Ofrenda, create skeleton marionettes, and paint paper skulls with acrylic paints.
