THE STATUE OF LIBERTY
The Statue of Liberty is a huge sculpture that is located on Liberty Island in New York Harbour. This monument was a gift to the USA from the people of France in recognition of the French-American alliance during the American Revolution. Liberty
was designed by the French sculptor Frederic Auguste Bartholdi. The
hollow copper statue was built in France - it was finished in July,
1884. It was brought to the USA in 350 pieces on a French ship called
the "Isere" (in June, 1885). The statue was re-assembled in
the USA and was completed on October 28, 1886. If you fancy reading a bit more about Liberty, you can click HERE. Now, are you ready to do this QUIZ ?
