• A small panel exhibit about Jose Posada, the Mexican artist who originated the now-famous and well-loved skeletons doing all kinds of everyday things, such as riding a bike, playing pool, and dancing. His images were made just at the beginning of the Mexican Revolution but have now been adopted over the years as imagery for Day of the Dead events.
