WASHINGTON — Hundreds of photographs, papers and historical objects documenting the history of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people are being added to the Smithsonian Institution’s collection Tuesday, including items from the popular TV show “Will and Grace.”

Show creators David Kohan and Max Mutchnick along with NBC are donating objects to the National Museum of American History.

The collection includes original scripts, casting ideas, political memorabilia surrounding the show and the series finale.

The network agreed to donate props, including a pill bottle and flask, a sign from “Grace Adler Interior Design” and Will Truman’s framed college diploma.

Kohan told the Associated Press the Smithsonian’s interest in the show featuring gay principal characters was a validation they never dreamed about when the sitcom began airing in 1998.

GREAT NEWS!!!! I just booked my vacation to see these incredible, rare artifacts. My main interest is in Grace Adler's sanitary napkin from Season 4 Episode 3 "Crouching Father, Hidden Husband". I have chills just thinking about it.

What?? No vodka bottles from the desk of Megan Mullally?
