For Day of the Dead, Mexico City assembled a record-setting Calavera Catrina sculpture measuring 109.616 feet tall, with nearly 10,000 feet of fabric and work by 150 people. Guinness World Records documented it on November 3.

This is the sort of ridiculous, delightful feat the Curious Page is for: an enormous dressed skeleton towering above a city plaza.
