1. 自由女神像，世界上最著名的纪念碑之一，是19世纪法国人民赠送给美利坚合众国的。这座由雕刻家Auguste设计的非凡雕像花了十年时间才完成。雕像本身是铜制的，它由一个金属框架支撑起，这个金属框架是Eiffel专门建造的。
2. 在它被运往美国前，必须要为它找到一个场地，而且还要建造一个基座。选定的场地是纽约港入口处的一个岛。到了1884年，一座高达151英尺的雕像在巴黎立了起来。第二年，它被拆成小块送到了美国。
3. 到了1886年10月底，雕像再次被组装起来并由Bartholdi正式赠送给了美国人民。从那时起，这座伟大的纪念碑对于那些通过纽约港来到美国安家的千百万人而言便成为了自由的象征。
