The National Postal Museum is delighted to collaborate with the National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI) to create a virtual family program that celebrates Day of the Dead | Día de los Muertos. The United States Postal Service (USPS) is issuing its first-ever Día de los Muertos stamps in 2021, and these Smithsonian museums are commemorating this special issue by bringing unique educational content to a virtual audience on Saturday, October 30th, 11 am EDT. Registration for the program is required and can be found here. This program includes an author reading of Dia de los Muertos by Roseanne Greenfield Thong. Educational staff from the Postal Museum and NMAI will lead the audience through some special connections between the book, the holiday, and their collections, and the program will conclude with a craft demonstration (see the supply list here). This program is recommended for ages 3-7 but all are welcome! Live captioning and ASL interpretation will be available for this program. Any questions? Please contact NPMPrograms@si.edu. |
