The ball caps off a week of exciting Day of the Dead activities taking place around the museum and the city of Chicago, and coincides with NMMA's annual Day of the Dead exhibition, which attracts more than 60,000 visitors every year and is the largest and most celebrated of its kind in the country. This year's exhibition, called La Muerte Nina: Day of the Dead, is dedicated to the 43 students from the Ayotzinapa, Guerrero Teachers College who have been missing since September 2014, and features traditional altars, installations, folk art, paintings and sculptures specially created for NMMA by more than 90 artists of Mexican descent from both sides of the border.
The exhibit runs from Sept. 18 through Dec. 13. Siempre Mujer is the Official Media Partner of the event.
