The Obamas have long praised Miranda's blockbuster musical since it debuted on Broadway four years ago. In 2016, then-President Obama said the "Hamilton" soundtrack had "become a favorite in the Obama household." Last year, the 44th president was a featured performer in a remix track from the show.

Michelle Obama isn't a stranger to the National Portrait Gallery. Last year, she and her husband were there as their portraits were unveiled at the downtown Washington fine arts institution.
