Read My Pins

After grabbing a Starbuck's I headed out to the IMA today to go to the exhibit of former Secretary of State Madeline Albright's pins.  Here's a description from the IMA website that explains it better than I could.

Organized by the Museum of Arts and Design, Read My Pins: The Madeleine Albright Collection highlights over 200 pins from the unique collection of the former Secretary of State. The Madeleine Albright collection includes pins of every description, many with fascinating stories attached. Some of the pieces are associated with important world events, others were gifts from international leaders or valued friends. A select number of the pins are fine antiques, most are costume jewelry, chosen for the symbolic messages they might convey. As the fame of Albright's pins has grown, so has their variety and number. Distinctive as it is democratic, this often whimsical collection spans more than a century of jewelry design and includes pieces from across the globe.

It was a really nice exhibit and interesting.  Some of those pins were huge!  Don't know how she wore them without leaning to one side. :)   Of course I had to shoot some photos.  I've shot several photos of the "Love" sculpture, but it look especially nice in the snow today.
