About
This year's Day of the Dead altar at Casa de México honors the composer Agustín Lara, shown seated at his piano. The scene is a mountain cemetery in Michoacán on the night families visit their dead, with candles, orange marigolds, copal, food, music and monarch butterflies. Skeleton figures keep it colorful more than spooky, and it suits kids who like to look closely at small details.
