Practice metalworking and create your own skull from tin. During Día de Muertos, you’ll see colorful skulls and skeletons everywhere—these are called calaveras. They appear on graves, in homes, and on altars. They’re part of the celebration and symbolize that there is life after death. Want to make something yourself for Día de Muertos? Come to Wereldmuseum Amsterdam and craft your own tin calaveras.
