The Mexican Fine Arts Center, one of my favorite places, is a free museum located in the center of the Pilsen neighborhood.The museum is special because it gives so much back to the community around it. Día de los Muertos, an important holiday in Mexican culture, celebrates the memory of loved ones who have passed on. I took these photographs of an exhibit outside the Mexican Fine Arts Center on November 2. The exhibit will close December 9.
