The altar is one of the basic elements of the Day of the Dead celebrations in Mexico. In addition to traditional skulls made of sugar, drinks and food, we may also find on it some items that were dear to the departed ones. Paths piled with flowers and grains put them on the track leading to the altar, where they can feast. This altar is a combination of Mexican tradition with elements of Polish culture. Made by Oscar Becerra Mora. Cooperation: Embassy of Mexico in Poland and Museo de Arte Popular in Mexico.
