Who owns Heisenberg's hat?

Who owns Heisenberg's hat?

Breaking Bad is over. Spinoff Better Call Saul is coming to AMC... eventually. In the interim, The LA Times asked creator Vince Gilligan and stars Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul (neither of whom, as far as we know, are appearing in Better Call Saul) to talk about the end of the series. Aside from serious discussion of the show's final episode, that also means revealing the present-day whereabouts of "Heisenberg's" famous pork pie hat — a version of which is owned by both Cranston and Gilligan. In an interesting offhand comment, Cranston says there's "some talk" of a Breaking Bad Smithsonian exhibit, where his hat and other pieces of Walter White paraphernalia could one day rest.

Aaron Paul, meanwhile, ended up taking multiple doors off the set.
