The
Mexican Fine Arts Center Museum of Chicago
Illinois included two of Sergio Hernandez's paintings
in its 2003 Dia de los Muertos: Reflections
of the Soul exhibition. The
showing included the works of over thirty artists
from all across the Southwest of the United States

and Death takes Frida were the works shown
in the exhibition.

The
show presented fine art painting and printmaking,
as well as traditional Mexican crafts like ceramics
and papier mâché that are associated with Day
of the Dead celebrations. The
public also took advantage of art workshops that
offered instruction in making Sugar Skulls
(calaveras de azucar) and Day of the Dead Bread
(Pan de Muertos).
