"Mad Men" season 7 is bound to end with one big explosion. The people behind the successful AMC series are hard at work in putting across the message that the series will not only get the wonderful ending it deserves but will resonate in the years to come.
Perhaps the best moment for "Mad Men" fans as they watched the recent Academy Awards was the time a trailer for the series was shown. The video was spoiler-free and all it did was pluck everyone's heartstrings as it reminded them that the show was at its closing stages. To preserve its prominence, tons of museums are bound to house artwork inspired by the show.
Time-Life Building in New York is one. The place was the show's Sterling Agency in the earlier seasons of the series. Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria will be the home of all props, videos and scripts from the show. In the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History, fans will soon find Don Draper's gray suit, fedora and office bar cart.
Some cast members of the show to be led by Matthew Weiner will also visit Los Angeles County Museum of Art for talks with Elvis Mitchell about possible screenings and exhibitions of the series. The New York Public Library will host a "Mad Men"-themed reading list that has all the novels mentioned throughout the show. Lastly, Film Society of Lincoln Center plans on showing select episodes from all seasons of "Mad Men."
Embroidered as it may sound, fans will agree with one who says that television was never so fantastic until the chain-smoking alpha male crashed it. And imagining the advertising connoisseur speeding into the sunset was something they steered clear of and was never prepared for.
