Smithsonian adds Eliza Hamilton portrait and Hamilton costume from Broadway musical

The Smithsonian's National Museum of American History will add a mid-19th-century oil painting of Mrs. Alexander Hamilton by Daniel P. Huntington from Graham Windham and an 18th-century style green silk suit worn by Lin-Manuel Miranda in Hamilton: An American Musical to the national collections during a special ceremony. These objects are being collected under the umbrella of the museum's Philanthropy Initiative, which began in 2015 to document the collaborative power of philanthropy and the giving of time, talent and resources.
