The Statue of Liberty is a colossal neoclassical sculpture on Liberty Island in New York Harbor. The copper statue, a gift from the people of France to the people of the United States, was designed by French sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi and its metal framework was built by Gustave Eiffel. Dedicated on October 28, 1886, it was designated as a National Monument in 1924.

It took 11 years to build, was completed in France in 1884, and was then shipped to America by ship.

It took 14 years to build because of financial problems and a lack of materials during World War II. In 1984, the Statue of Liberty became a National Monument.

The Statue of Liberty was dedicated on October 28, 1886. The statue is 151 ft (46 m) tall, but with the pedestal and foundation, it is 305 ft (93 m) tall. Visitors can climb a 168-step staircase from inside the statue to the torch. The height of the statue’s right hand holding the torch is 13 meters. 15 people can walk together in the corridor around the torch. The width of the head of the statue is 2 meters and its height is 5 meters with its crown.
