Day of the Dead
Oct 31st – Nov 2nd
A day of remembrance of friends and family members who have died.
I was lucky to attend a work trip to El Museo Del Barrio : 1230 5th Ave, New York, NY 10029
They celebrate the Latin culture & art.
We went on the perfect day, they were celebrating Dia De Los Muerto, with music & parade.
The museum also serves as an art school for kids.
The first floor is filled with art & a cute gift shop, where i treated my self to a Young Lord pin & Frida Kahlo socks.
By Puerto Rico artist…
Dominican Artist…
Ecuadorian artist…
Cuban Artist…
and poetry…
My favorite piece.. was called Merengue circa 1920s
Check their event calendar, to plan your visit.
Across the street they have a park (which now I’m planning my dream wedding at lol)
Ill be returning, to celebrate & support our Latin Rich Culture.
