Statue of Liberty Part 1

This was the original lamp that Lady Liberty held. It is now in the museum there. It was really neat!

This is the size of Lady Liberty's face! Wow! Such an amazing work of art, its amazing to think of all the time, effort, dedication and manpower that went into making this statue!


I liked this quote by the sculptor of the statue, Auguste Bartholdi.


Scott is chilling at Lady Liberty's feet..and yes those are true to size and copper, which is how they were before the elements weathered them and they became green.


They had a neat museum showing the process for making the different parts of the statue.


I was in awe of all the work that went into this great statue. It was inspiring to read and learn more about it.



While the statue was being built in France, the US was building the pedestal to prepare for the day that Lady Liberty would be brought to the United States of America!
