The Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) holiday, a unique cultural event with a long-standing tradition in Latin America and strong ties to indigenous Mexican culture, is celebrated annually on November 1 and 2. In fall 2024, the Ontario Museum of History & Art presented its 26th iteration of its annual Día de los Muertos  exhibition. The Museum invited viewers to experience artists’ exploration of their connections with the holiday and its history. Artists presented a multicultural view of life and death through various media, including paintings, sculptures, video, mixed media, photography, and altar installations.
