MUSEUM SECRETS: Toad Vaccines and Magical Jewellery
In today’s episode of our Museum Secrets podcast, join Curator Matthew Winterbottom as he explores ancient beliefs about disease testing and vaccines, through our collection of toadstone rings.
These bizarre pieces of jewellery have a lot to tell us about the human effort to find hope in the face of illness and uncertainty, even when it involves the strangest superstitions. And at the end of the day, it turns out that toadstones have nothing to do with toads after all…

I am happy to announce that the Sweatlodge Changing Room at the Indian Community School of Milwaukee is part of a new exhibition at The Museum of Design Atlanta (MODA)!
The exhibit, Full Circle: Design Without End, explores design projects that strengthen and replenish ecosystems and help humans connect to nature. The Sweatlodge Changing Room was included because its design takes into account how the building impacts every aspect of our natural environment, following ideas of Indigenous relationality.
The exhibit is on view at @modatl until September 25, 2022. Stop by and see it if you’re in Atlanta — or participate in exhibition-related virtual and IRL programming!
