Frederic Auguste Bartholdi designed the copper statue which stands 12 stories tall atop a pedestal created by renowned American architect Richard Morris Hunt. Its supporting skeleton was devised by the builder of the Eiffel Tower, Gustave Alexandre Eiffel himself. The Statue, a gift from the French people to celebrate the centennial of the Declaration of Independence, represents the deep history & friendship shared between the United States & France.
