Official Link: https://mag.rochester.edu/event/museum-of-the-dead-9/The Memorial Art Gallery (MAG) marks a milestone this fall with the tenth anniversary of Museum of the Dead, its eerily popular Halloween party, coming up on Friday, October 24.
For a decade, Museum of the Dead has fused art, music, and spooky spectacles into one unforgettable night. This year’s celebration features ghost tours through the historic Cutler Union tower, tarot card readings in the Renaissance Gallery, a late-night organ concert, and access to MAG’s world-class collections. Guests can dance to a live DJ in the Vanden Brul Pavilion, enjoy a screening of American Psycho in the M&T Bank Ballroom, and fuel up with frighteningly good food from some of Rochester’s favorite trucks.
The evening’s highlight is the high-energy costume contest, with categories ranging from Best Couple and Best Group to Spookiest and Most Inspired by MAG Art. Winners will be announced at 10 p.m., with prizes provided by local businesses.
Tickets are $30 general admission ($20 before October 1). This is a 21+ event, and tickets must be purchased in advance – sales close at 6 p.m. on October 24, with no tickets available at the door.
Tickets are on sale now at mag.rochester.edu/event/motd-2025.
