Trippy Buttons of the '60s showcases a collection of illustrated pins depicting themes ranging from spiritual discovery to psychedelic drug use.

1966 saw a phenomenal rise in the use of wearable pins, having previously been used mainly for conventions and political campaigns. The epicenter of this recontextualized, new fad which leaned towards pop culture slogans and anti-war activism, was the San Francisco Bay Area of the hippie era, but pins were soon being produced and sold nationwide wherever young people congregated.
