Day of the Dead Crafts @ World Museum Liverpool

February half-term 2016

We’re excited to announce three new events during February half-term at the World Museum Liverpool. Suitable for all of the family, we will have a number of craft tables for you to get creative at using milk bottles, plant pots, paper skeletons, frames and much more. Take your customised piece home with you or donate it to our special Day of the Dead altar.

We want your help to make our altar as beautiful, colourful and meaningful as possible. Bring along a photograph of your late loved one and personalise one of our photograph frames. Through the medium of art, we can share happy memories of those that have died and help to keep their memory alive. We’re providing a safe space to remember and honour those that have gone before us.

If you would like to donate anything relevant to the altar, such as skulls, artificial flowers, vases or gothic ornaments please get in touch or bring them along to one of our events. If you would like to share a photograph or story about someone who has died, but are unable to make any of the events, please email us.

We must say a huge thank you to Adam and the team at World Museum Liverpool for working with us again on our popular Day of the Dead celebrations.  It’s a great venue where adults and children are willing to engage and interact with what can be a difficult subject.
