Peabody Museum of Archeology and Ethnology
Harvard’s Peabody Museum has a Dia de los Muertos altar created by Mexican artists Mizael Sanchez and Monica Martinez on permanent display (seen above). The holiday gives the museum an opportunity engage their audience with this work in news ways, and to connect it with other works in their collection of Mexican folk art. The Museum offers festival days for adults and families, as well as a lecture tying Dia de los Muertos to their collection of Mayan archeological finds.
