Día de los Mu***os is a chance to honor the animals we've loved and lost, both recently and long ago. The vibrant Alebrijes of artist Fernando Escartiz bring that spirit to life all across our campus: a giant monarch, a hummingbird arch, a whimsical axolotl, and so much more. Each one is a colorful reminder of the companions who stay with us. 🐸🐙🦉🦋

The full collection is only here through October 18! After that, just a few pieces will remain for the holiday.

👉 Grab your tickets and come see them while you can. Costumes are encouraged, and trust us, your photos are going to be AMAZING. 📸✨
