Message from the Director

Hello everyone!

It’s always a little sad to say goodbye to summer, but despite that, fall is still my favorite time of year—especially in Colorado. The temperatures are less extreme, the breeze is invigorating, and the changing leaves are breathtaking. Every year, I escape my everyday by taking an excursion over Independence Pass—exploring the hills, going to museums, eating pub food, and taking in the unbelievable beauty of trees. They are deeply inspiring and extraordinarily humbling.

It’s no wonder trees can be the focus of an entire exhibit. TreeHouses: Look Who’s Living in the Trees is in our temporary gallery until January 6. It is a fun-filled investigation into the inhabitants, ecology, and sustainability of trees. Bring the kids and immerse yourself in a forest of play and discovery.

Fall for me is also a time of reflection, which is perfect in the of Día de los Muertos—a of remembrance, memoriam, and joyful commemoration. The Longmont Museum is proud to host the largest Day of the Dead celebration in the state—rooted in family and community. In a climate that feels increasingly hostile toward immigrants, this year’s celebration seems to have a heightened sense of relevance. We at the Longmont Museum feel strongly that it is our diversity that makes us strong, and we are committed to creating a space where people can feel safe to express their cultural heritage.

Please join us to pay homage to departed loved ones! Community members co-create the event that includes contemplative alters, dance, music, sugar skulls, Catrina face painting, and much more. This year will also feature Mexican artist Oscar Becerra’s Xólotl: Dios Perro. You will have to see it to believe it!
