Celebrate el Día de los Muertos at the National Portrait Gallery. Enjoy live music, Mexican folk-dance performances, workshops, and a variety of activities for all ages. Visitors can also create calaveras and papel picado to decorate the community altar and get their face painted to look like la Catrina.

The celebration goes to the streets as visitors witness the live video mapping projection by artists MasPaz and Guache. The artists create their work live from the Martin Luther King Jr. Library, projected onto the G and 9th Street façade.
