VISIT THE STATUE OF LIBERTY WITH LICENSED TOUR GUIDE

 

NY Skyride 

 

 

 

 

 

Standing tall and proud in the middle of Liberty Island, the Statue of Liberty has for more than a century served as a symbol of the American Dream. Depicting Liberty holding a torch to light the world, the monument was the creation of the French sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi and was crafted a hundred years after the American Revolution in Paris.

 

 

 

 

Learn the story of how the statue was shipped from France to New York and how it was not asembled immediately: in fact the sculpture remained in the harbor of New York for at least one year and the reason was the attempt to raise funds for its pedestal.

Lady Liberty was casted in a very modern technique at that time and it's interesting to find out what is inside the statue even if since 9/11 we do not have access to the top of this modern colossus.

 

The island that houses the statue of Liberty has a longer story and begins with its use as quarantine station for the yellow fever.
