Day of the Dead (Dia de los Muertos)

The British Museum is hosted two exhibitions of Mexican artwork and culture - "Moctezuma: Aztec Ruler" and "Revolution on paper: Mexican prints 1910-1960" - and displaying Day of the Dead papier mâché figures and an altar, created by Mexican artist Adriana Amaya and children.

In addition to these major exhibits and Dia de los Muertos, Redstone Press has issued a neat box set of over sized postcards, titled Calaveras: Mexican Prints for the Day of the Dead.

Plus just for fun, Ernesto Yerena made these animals of the dead prints.
