In commemoration of ‘Dia de los Muertos” the Day of the Dead, the Sioux City Public Museum is presenting an altar display to highlight the Mexican tradition.

Education Curator Theresa Weaver-Bayse says the altars are special tributes to honor family members who have died;

The altar is often found within homes or public places, and is created to honor and welcome deceased loved ones.

Antonia Vasquez has an altar to honor her brother Francisco who died ten years ago:
