almost daily since 1999

 

Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright (a Wellesley alum just like our current Secretary of State) is putting 200 of her (in)famous brooches on display. The Museum of Arts & Design in New York will open “Read My Pins: The Madeleine Albright Collection” in September. Albright carefully selected the pins she wore to suit the diplomatic occasion, and she wasn’t afraid to let them express her strong opinions. The Iraqi press called her a serpent in 1994 and when she met the Iraqi Foreign Minister soon after, she wore a snake pin. Albright has written a book to go along with the exhibit and is looking forward to the opportunity to buy more pins while her collection is out on exhibit.
