“Amor Eterno. Because if there’s one thing about death, it’s that the love never dies.” 🕯️🌼

Meet Daniela M. Hernandez, a third-generation Sonoma County realtor whose passion, and therapy, has become building altars. Her ofrenda in our Día de los Mu***os exhibition honors her own family and friends, along with the loved ones of the people closest to her. Look closely and you’ll find the little things they loved, a cold Coca-Cola among them, waiting for them when they come to visit.

As Daniela reminds us, Día de los Mu***os isn’t about celebrating death. It’s about celebrating life, and remembering that our stories don’t end when we’re gone. 💛

For 30 years, the Museum of Sonoma County has been honored to help our community keep these traditions alive, and to recognize how deeply rooted Latino culture is in this place we all call home. Thank you, Daniela, for sharing your heart with us.

Visit the exhibition and spend some time with Amor Eterno and the many altars filling our galleries this season.
