Bob Dylan's "The Times They Are a-Changin'" hasn't appeared once, nor has his "Blowin' in the Wind." There's been no "For What It's Worth" by the Buffalo Springfield, no "A Change Is Gonna Come" from Sam Cooke, nor even the Kingsmen's "Louie, Louie."

It's easy to overlook - by the time you've waded through the throngs of museumgoers, and snaked your way through the lovingly preserved costumes and meticulously recreated sets of Don Draper's office and Betty Draper's kitchen, this standee with a screen and two sets of dangling headphones feels like an afterthought. Pay a visit to New York City's Museum of the Moving Image to see its blockbuster show Matthew Weiner's Mad Men, and toward the end of the exhibit you will find a lonely kiosk.
