The Statue of Liberty stands tall on the shores of New York as a beacon of freedom and hope for a better life, her eyes watching the arrival of millions of immigrants, and as a symbol of friendship between the United States and France. “Body of Iron, Soul of Fire: The Statue of Liberty,” at the hundred year mark of her feet being planted firmly as a sign of American democracy, looks back at her history, assemblage, maintenance, restorations for her hundredth birthday, and how she stands as a beautiful work of art.
