由 AI 报道
The exhibition 'El beso de la muerte. Representaciones mortuorias en el arte y la cultura visual del siglo XIX' invites the public to immerse in the duality of death as a fearsome enemy and everyday presence in that era. Curated by Luis Gómez Mata at the Museo Nacional de San Carlos, it features nearly 180 pieces addressing illness, mourning, and funeral rites. It opens days before Día de Muertos, linking past and present.
