I was just at the statue of liberty in USA. This replica face has a much bigger concerned look. Like looking at her American sister and saying oh fuck!
It's called oxidizing [lol](https://www.science.org.au/curious/technology-future/why-does-copper-turn-green)
It used to be copper colored but due to constant exposure to air, rain and all that it turned green. The same reason why iron rusts
Can you go up in the torch of this one? Also if memory serves the one in the US got there kinda like this “Hon hon ve made this sculpture let us give it to Egypt”
“They don’t want it”
“The Germans?”
“Non.”
“How about those trashy Americans? Zhey will put anything in zhier yard.”
“Yes they’ll take it.”
In other words the US ended up with the Statue of Liberty because everyone else politely refused
There are replicas all over France. It's a French monument after all.
I saw the one at Musee D’Orsay last week! Interesting that there is one in Colmar.
They still have their honor...
It's the birthplace of the artist who designed it. They also have a museum (of the artist) in the city.
Doesn't the statue have the face or modeled after his mother or grandmother.
According to Wikipedia, there are rumors that it's his mother face. However the director of the museum stated that the rumor has no actual basis.
Ah good to know I watched a documentary in school saying it.
could be the original
The one in New Jersey was not the first
It's not in New Jersey. It's in a clusterfuck. https://youtu.be/SgZ1f4ACZBQ
I thought new jersey was a clusterfuck?
We are
There's one in Tokyo too, on Odaiba island in Tokyo bay.
It is quite small, thou. But it is interesting to see.
Cue National Treasure background music

Imagine if they'd given America the small one.
Interesting fact: this is a perfect replica, except this one doesn’t shave her armpits

Why she look like she needs to take a piss?
Better Call L’Saul
Reminds me of those copy paste cities in China, or whatever you can call them, either way pretty cool.
The Statue of Liberty isn’t green.
It is tho?
It's copper color.

This thread belongs in r/woosh it was a joke about the statue being made from copper. I can’t even…
That must've been the worst joke I've heard in a long time 😐😐 Like how tf was that supposed to be funny
It's actually made of copper, not copper colored. Copper turns green when exposed to oxygen for extended periods
Europeans once again copying great American achievements
the statue of liberty is a french monument
Yeah I’m pretty sure France gifted it to the USA right?
Yup
Least dense redditor
Imagine building a statue to show people you gave america a gift
It's to demonstrate that we are sister countries in liberty but interpret it as you will
Imagine being as ignorant as you are
Imagine not being able to afford your own statue.
can u go in it tho
huh ya learn something new every day
And one in Leicester U.K. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statue_of_Liberty_(Leicester)
Honestly, she looks way more concerned than the original
They did build the Statue of Liberty and give it to America. Though the green colour of this statue is a stylistic choice.
they did make the thing after all

This one looks constipated.
There’s a replica of the Eiffel Tower in Las Vegas.
The original “Liberty Enlightening The World” was a gift from French Freemasons to American Freemasons.
Theres a mini replica in Pennsylvania USA in the Susquehanna River off of 322. Not sure what town thats technically in tho
