Celebration of the day of the death


Another objects created specially for this time are the sculptures in papier mache, in Mexico it's called cartonería.

For this celebration, you'll find a lot of skulls, and skeletons, in this material, many museums, decorate this festivities with some thematics skeleton.

Here are some pics, of the Dolores Olmedo Museum, where they held an exhibit of the Mexican history.

This pic is about the aztecs, finding the symbol (eagle eating an snake above a cactus) where they must build their city. This symbol is now part of our flag!
