Ofrendas for Dia de los Muertos
Honoring loved ones who have died is a universal experience. In Mexico, the tradition is called Día de los Muertos, and families often create a special altar filled with food, special flowers, and photographs of loved ones who have passed away.
The Corvallis Museum will host four ofrendas, or altars, created by four different community groups. The ofrendas will be on view for two weeks during regular open hours.
The groups represented are:
- ANDARES
- Determined Art Movement (DAM)
- La Raza Growing Juntos
- Lincoln Elementary 4th Grade Class
If you would like to schedule a field trip for your class to visit the museum, view the ofrendas and learn about this tradition, please email education@bentoncountymuseums.org
On Sunday, November 1, the Corvallis Museum will host a special event to honor Día de los Muertos. Learn more on the event page.
