Complete history of The Statue of Liberty The Statue of Liberty has long stood as a beacon of light and hope for all of America. Built in France by renowned sculptor Frederic Auguste Bartholde, the story of Lady Liberty’s construction is an incredible tale of unity well before it even touched American soil. Even today, millions of visitors are attracted to its pedestal and take the steep climb from base to crown— the torch wasn’t always closed, however. In fact, up to 1916 visitors were able to enjoy a breathtaking view of the New York skyline from the torch’s balcony— but what could have caused such an incredible attraction to close? Let’s take a look at the history behind this cornerstone of American culture. The Statue of Liberty, officially known as Liberty Enlightening the World, is a colossal neoclassical sculpture on Liberty Island in New York Harbor within New York City, in the United State, watch this video to learn more!

clarification 1.
Though Bartholdi did place lighting within the torch initially, the idea of adding a series of floodlights to the balcony of the torch was not introduced until much later in the 20th century as the lights that were originally placed inside were not strong enough. However, this idea was scrapped due to the concerns over the pilots. We apologize for any confusion that the wording of the video may have caused.”
