Mad Men at Smithsonian Museum of American History: To Feature 'Mad Men' AMC Series Memorabilia in New Exhibit

Don Draper's gray suit, trademark fedora, as well as his office's bar cart are headed to the Smithsonian Museum of American History.

As part of an ambitious slate of cultural commemorations tied to the end of "Mad Men," the popular museum decided to add Don Draper's familiar fashion statements to its permanent collection.

AMC, the network that produces and airs the iconic drama series, noted that the museum will also welcome iconic props, costumes, set décor, scripts and research material" in a March 27 ceremony.

Series creator Matthew Weiner disclosed his plan to donate a copy of the script for the first season's finale title "The Wheel," which will include a never-filmed alternate ending.

The Smithsonian is one of several exhibits, events, and screenings AMC and "Mad Men" producer Lionsgate have organized as part of an effort to market the "Mad Men" farewell season.

In a press release announcing the network's plans, AMC president Charlie Collier said there are also big events at seven different New York museums and organizations and at least one major exhibit in Los Angeles.

These include a "major exhibition" at the Museum of the Moving Image, which will run from March 14 to June 14; a "Mad Men" Reading List at the New York Public Library; and a two-day film festival at BAM cinématek featuring Mad Men at the Movies.

The press release also highlights an event at the Film Society of Lincoln Center entitled "Mad Men: The End of the Era," which will also screen a free marathon of episodes picked by Weiner.

Weiner will also speak at the Museum of Jewish Heritage and the 92nd Street Y, and will be present with cast members for discussions following screenings of episodes for March 26 and 27 at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Vulture said.

A LIVE from the NYPL event will also happen after the series finale, which will kick off on April 5 in a bid for the creators to position the show for a long and prosperous pop-culture afterlife.

"A television series unlike any other deserves a send-off unlike any other," Charlie Collier said in a press release announcing the network's plans.

The New York Public Library will plug its "Mad Men Reading List," a collection of 25 titles read by characters in the series, at its three largest branches.
