BroadwayWorld has a first look at renderings of scenes from Hamilton: THE EXHIBITION! Check out the photos of the designs by David Korins below!
Through 18 galleries in this expansive travelling museum - which will also include a selection of original artifacts from the Revolutionary War era -- Hamilton: THE EXHIBITION takes visitors deeper into the life and times of Alexander Hamilton, while at the same time chronicling the American Revolution and the creation of the United States of America. From the post in St. Croix where teenager Hamilton became an indispensable trader, to the hilltop in Weehawken, NJ where Aaron Burr fatally shot Hamilton in their infamous duel, Hamilton: THE EXHIBITION seeks to elucidate the powerful experience of building our country and shaping our Democracy.
Narrated in part by Lin-Manuel Miranda - joined by original Broadway cast member Phillipa Soo and Joanne Freeman as audio guides, while Olga Merediz (Abuela Claudia, IN THE HEIGHTS on Broadway) provides Spanish language translation -- visitors will learn that our Democracy was not inevitable, but the result of the hard work of many men and women who took enormous risks to build our country through thought, action and collaboration.

The beginning of the Election of 1800 Gallery_ each of the 16 columns represents one of the states that had voting power in this incredibly important and pivotal election.
Our guests will get to see the very beginning of the two party system_ the two main competing parties (shown here) were the Democratic Republicans and the Federalists, which have since evolved into what we know today as the Democrat.
We created a handmade, scale version of Lower Manhattan for the New York gallery to explore the deeper world that Hamilton immersed himself in when he arrived in New York Harbor from St. Croix. Here is a photo of Creative Director .
