Visitors co-create the

ongoing story of liberty

The interactive museum helps 4.3 million annual visitors honor the Statue’s history, influence, and legacy.

The exhibits provoke insight, stir emotions, and inspire ideas about what Liberty represents.

At the Statue of Liberty Museum, visitors engage with the rich history and symbolism of this iconic monument. Starting with a cinematic journey in the Immersive Theater, the experience unfolds through interactive exhibits in the Engagement Gallery, highlighting the Statue's construction, history, and global influence. The journey culminates in the emotional Inspiration Gallery, where visitors contribute to the "Becoming Liberty" digital mural, reflecting on their personal connection to liberty. The museum also features the statue's original torch in a glass gallery, with breathtaking views of the Statue and New York skyline. Spanning 26,000 square feet, the museum's architecture blends seamlessly with the landscape, featuring native vegetation and terraces that elevate the visitor experience. The building's dynamic design, using materials reflecting the island's heritage, symbolizes the evolving nature of liberty.
