Is the family day included in a museum ticket?

Yes. Taking part costs the regular EMMA museum ticket (0–20 €), with no separate workshop fee.

When should we arrive?

The altar, papel picado and face painting stations run 12:30pm to 3:30pm. The last hour, until 4:30pm, is the closing party with DJ Julio Gröhn, so come early if your kids want to make things.

Do we need to know about Día de Muertos already?

No. The organizers welcome families who celebrate it every year and those meeting it for the first time.

About

A Día de Muertos family afternoon at EMMA, the Espoo modern art museum, run with the Ninho cultural center. Kids build a small ofrenda (memory altar) from collage and drawing, cut papel picado paper decorations, and get their faces painted as colorful calaveritas skulls. Julle Gröhn plays a live modular synth set that shapes the visuals in real time, and the day closes with a shared party and DJ.
