Children’s Museum Houston will be magically transformed into a colorful, beautiful, and bountiful Land of the Dead, bursting with incredible offerings in celebration of El Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead).  El Día de los Muertos is a celebration of life!  It’s a time when families keep the memory of loved ones alive by remembering their essence in a beautifully decorated “ofrenda.”  This offering replete of bread, fruit, and flowers, is believed to be enjoyed by the departed as they pay a holiday visit home!
