Día de los Muertos, the Day of the Dead, is a primarily Mexican holiday meant as a way to remember and honor the dead. However, the National Portrait Gallery brought that tradition to Washingtonians. On November 1, guests had the chance to watch folklórico dancers dance across the Kogod Courtyard in Dia de los Muertos face paint, try out traditional Mexican snacks and have their faces painted like traditional sugar skulls. Some people also placed offerings and memorabilia of those who have passed at a traditional altar honoring the dead. (Amanda Andrade-Rhoades/DC Refined)
