Hamilton fans, you’re going to like this. Today the museum collected two objects that connect over 200 years of philanthropy history: Eliza Hamilton’s portrait and Lin-Manuel Miranda’s costume from the second-act of “Hamilton: An American Musical.” The objects will not be on view immediately. You have to be willing to wait for it. The suit will go on view in late March.

A pioneering philanthropist, Eliza Hamilton helped found the Orphan Asylum Society of New York City (later renamed Graham Windham) in 1806, at a time when women in the new nation were starting to create and run their own charities. The portrait, painted by Daniel Huntington, helped illustrate women’s role as philanthropists in the new nation.

Over 200 years later, “Hamilton: An American Musical” shares Eliza Hamilton’s story—as well as that of her husband, Alexander Hamilton. Portraying Alexander Hamilton, Lin-Manuel Miranda sports this suit, created by Tony-award winning costume designer Paul Tazewell, in the musical’s second act.

What does a musical about a “bastard, orphan, immigrant, decorated war-vet” Treasury Secretary have to do with philanthropy? A lot. In the musical’s first song depicts how Alexander Hamilton benefited from philanthropy when his community “took up a collection just to send him to the mainland.” In the musical’s final song, Eliza shows the audience “what she’s proudest of”—the fact that she established the first private orphanage in New York City. But wait, there’s more! The cast and crew of “Hamilton” support the organization Eliza Hamilton founded, both financially and through an arts program cast members created called #TheElizaProject.
