The metalwork for the Statue of Liberty was created by Gustave Eiffel.

One of the interesting facts about Gustave Eiffel is that, besides building the Eiffel Tower, the metalwork for the Statue of Liberty was his most notable lifetime achievement.


Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, a well-known French sculptor, created the Statue of Liberty, a representation of goodwill between the United States and France, while Gustave Eiffel produced the renowned structure's metalwork in 1881. The gigantic iron pylon and skeletal framework were created by Alexandre Gustave Eiffel, who was employed to do so. Allowing for copper's thermal expansion was one of the design's secrets in creating the statue. The dimensions of material vary as a result of temperature variations. The copper shell can move autonomously and stand erect thanks to the skeleton structure.


Today, the Statue of Liberty continues to stand near Ellis Island in New York and is seen as a representation of liberty and freedom in the United States. Another symbol of togetherness between the two countries is a little Statue of Liberty that is placed in front of the larger one in New York in Paris.
