Hello, I wonder if you could help me. Where do I find the USA exhibit?
Which part are you interested in?
The Statue of Liberty, I need to do some research about it.
It was presented by the people of France to the people of the United States in 1886 to honour the friendship between the two nations. Nowadays we consider it to be a symbol of liberty throughout the world.
Yes, and America couldn't have been liberated from Britain without the help of the French. Wow! It says here that more than 5 million people visit the statue every year. That's a lot of people.
It's a very popular symbol to many. Nowhere else on earth is there a symbol that expresses the concept and ideals of personal freedom as dramatically.
What can you tell me about its size? How tall is it exactly?
The statue part is 115 feet tall and the pedestal is 89 feet tall. It weighs a whopping 225 tons!
That is huge. What's it made from! It often looks like stone in the pictures.
Actually, the statue is made from steel coated with copper and the pedestal is made from granite.
