di Rosa Center for Contemporary Art — Attraction in Sonoma

I loved this place. I've gone six previous times and introduced countless people. No more. It has become a joke. The first building where you browsed awaiting your tour guide is but a fraction of what it used to be. I bad omen and clue as to what is to come. Building two with it's thousands of incredible items has been reduced to 3 very intense exhibits of perhaps 4 items of questionable value as art.
