The Natural History Museum celebrates nature and the traditions around Day of Dead in Jardín de Recuerdos, Garden of Memories.  This event is held in the Nature Garden.

Day of the Dead is a cultural tradition celebrated in Mexico and throughout Latin America in which people remember loved ones who have passed in a celebration of life.  The evening features folkloric dances, sweet treats, art activities, and more.

Guests are invited to participate in a community ofrenda by sharing images or objects of loved ones and places, constructed by master altarista Ofelia Esparza, and her daughter, artist Rosanna Esparza Ahrens. Guests can also see the altar built in honor of the rich cultures that make up Los Angeles titled El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora la Reina de Los Ángeles, in the Becoming Los Angeles exhibition.
