The 26 photographs in this traveling exhibition show villagers immersed in all aspects of the celebration—preparing centuries-old recipes for the departed to enjoy, scattering trails of marigolds to guide the dead home, and offering chocolate and pan de muerto (“bread of the dead”) at community gatherings. This annual celebration is commemorated in photographs of candlelit home altars, public processions, and rich offerings of food—including a row of solid chocolate skulls. This exhibition was developed by The Field Museum in collaboration with Mars, Incorporated. Local funding provided in part by a grant from the Lake Region Arts Council through a Minnesota State Legislative Appropriation.
