The
Statue of Liberty was finished in
1884, and installed in 1886. The statue
took eight years to design, fund,
and develop. The statue’s “skin”
is made of copper, and over time it
has turned the familiar shade of green.
If one is allowed one can climb around
inside, with observation decks in
the crown and around the edge of the
torch. Over the years the Statue of
Liberty has needed a lot of repairs,
but by the time modernity had set
in the Statue was such a symbol of
“the Lighthouse of Liberty”
that none refused her an annual check-up.
