The Mexican Day of the Dead, celebrated on November 1st and 2nd, is a celebration in which the living honor the departed. Skulls are its characteristic imagery, most commonly in the form of folk art figurines such as the Novia (Bride), or made of sugar and brightly decorated. Masks Y Mas store and gallery is a truly one of a kind entity in the United States, importing Day of the Dead artwork, masks and figurines, and displaying them beside all sorts of locally-themed kitsch, including t-shirts and jewelery. It successfully combines cultural education, humor and a serious social commitment; the latter evident in the frequent exhibitions of work by incarcerated artists. - Pip Lustgarten

This shop in Nob Hill just east of UNM is packed with so much neat stuff. I could spend days in here and still not see everything! Fun, cultural art and wearables that just bring a little joy into your life at great prices. They have a gallery area with lots of local artists’ work, mixed in with shirts and jewelry. If you need anything to help celebrate Day of the Dead - this place is a must.
MoreWhat a fun shop, filled with everything and anything New Mexican and Mexican, from masks to cards to jewelry to tee shorts—but definitely not the kind of touristy stuff you see in Old Town. Lots of cool Day of the Dead items. No real antiques—just funk.
