Lady Liberty, representative of freedom to the world, shines bright in New York Harbor. Created by Frenchman Frederic Auguste Bartholdi, the Statue was a gift from France to the United States. Now, visitors can view the inside of the statue through a glass ceiling, and capture a better image of Lady Liberty through the enhanced lighting and video system surrounding the statue. Visitors can walk onto the observation deck to see New York City and its Harbor. With a torch and a book in her hands, Lady Liberty has generously welcomed immigrants and visitors for over a century.

Cyril

Check out the hidden museum in the pedestal

(Rating: 4) by Cyril on October 4, 2008

Tours to the Statue of Liberty don't let you go up to the crown anymore since 9/11, but they do take you to a very interesting museum located inside the pedestal and covering the history, fundraising and construction of the Status.
