SMHM hosts students from local high schools as we honor Dia de los Muertos. Students share beautiful altars honoring family and friends. The rich tradition of Dia de los Muertos is a rare opportunity to spend time with loved ones who have passed away as well as being a time to process their loss and remember. Dia de los Muertos is not a mournful commemoration but a joyous, colorful celebration of life and memory.

This annual event is the Santa Monica History Museum's largest and most important fundraiser of the year. Join us as we celebrate Santa Monica's 150th year and honor Paulette and Sam Kardashian, and Buria Finkel.
