“A Celebration of Souls: Day of the Dead in Southern Mexico” will be on exhibit through Jan. 5 at the Dunn Museum in Libertyville.

‘A Celebration of Souls’ runs through the end of the year at Dunn Museum “A Celebration of Souls: Day of the Dead in Southern Mexico,” is at the Dunn Museum, 1899 W. Winchester Road in Libertyville. The exhibition will run through Jan. 5, 2020 at the nationally accredited museum, a distinction held by only 3 percent of American museums. This exhibition, developed by the Field Museum in collaboration with Mars Inc., coincides with the actual multiday festival celebrated every fall in commemoration of friends and family members who have died. Each November 1 and 2, on the Christian holidays of All Saint’s Day and All Soul’s Day, families in villages across Mexico gather to welcome home the visiting spirits of departed relatives on the Día

de Muertos (Day of the Dead). Mexicans often decorate altars in honor of the deceased with skeleton models, elaborate wreaths and crosses, votive lights and fresh seasonal flowers. Traditionally, November 1 is set aside for remembrance of deceased infants and those who have died as adults are honored November 2. “The temporary exhibition features 26 framed color photographs taken in and around Oaxaca, Mexico. The photographs examine the complex and rich histories of honoring the dead in ancient Mesoamerica, the labor of love involved in these diverse rituals and the spiritual importance of this holiday in Mexico today,” said Andrew Osborne, superintendent of educational

facilities at the Lake County Forest Preserves, which operates the Dunn Museum. Dunn Museum exhibit designers created an environment rich with cultural symbols from one of the most recognized annual events in Mexico. A strong and recognizable symbol of the Day of the Dead celebration is La Catrina, a tall female skeleton wearing a fancy hat with feathers and bright clothing. Life-sized Catrinas are part of the local exhibit. “These cultural symbols, depicting how the Mexican people see death and the afterlife, will nicely accompany the photographs of candlelit alters and rich offerings of food— including a row of solid chocolate skulls,” Osborne said.

Artist and muralist Robert Valadez has been commissioned to paint a custom 15-foot-by4-foot mural for the entrance to the gallery. The professional artist’s work is featured in the National Museum of Mexican Art in Chicago. Valadez said the mural for the Dunn Museum, titled “Muerito Party,” is based on the famous artwork of Mexican illustrator José Guadalupe Posada (1852-1913) known for his whimsical figures of skulls and skeletons that have become closely associated with the Day of the Dead. Valadez, of Chicago, said his mural depicts notable people with connections to Lake County, both
