Statue of Liberty; A Symbol Of Human Liberation & A Historical Gift By France

Statue of Liberty, is a neoclassical sculpture on Liberty Island with the height of 151 feet and 1 feet, in New York City, USA.  The statue is made of copper and it was gifted from France to the United States of America. The sculpture was designed by world famous sculptor Frederic Auguste Bartholdi and it was built by Gustave Eiffel, the man who made Eiffel tower in Paris, and was placed on October 28, 1886.

The statue is the sculpture of a Roman goddess who holds a torch with her right hand above her head and carries a book on her left hand where the date of USA’s Independence Day (July 4, 1776) is engraved in Roman and with a broken chain in her legs. The torch is the symbol of bright future and the broken chain is the symbol of liberty.

The statue of Liberty became an icon of freedom and a welcoming sign for international immigrants.
Around the Statue of Liberty, a park has been made in the name of national park and hundreds of thousands of tourists visit this historical place annually but unfortunately this place has been closed for public visit several times because of security reasons.

United States of America started building Liberty museum in 2016 with a $ 90 million dollars budget and the project will be given the final touches by the end of 2019. After the completion of this project, people from worldwide can visit this historical and beautiful place with no hesitation as high security systems will be installed with emergency exit system.

Liberty Island, a beautiful historical piece of art that shows human liberation.
