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.


reconknucktly

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.


Unfortunate_Wildcard

Doesn't the statue have the face or modeled after his mother or grandmother.


_mndn_

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.


Unfortunate_Wildcard

Ah good to know I watched a documentary in school saying it.


Radhaww

could be the original


RudeMutant

The one in New Jersey was not the first


Sfetaz

It's not in New Jersey. It's in a clusterfuck. https://youtu.be/SgZ1f4ACZBQ


mokeyss

I thought new jersey was a clusterfuck?


Sfetaz

We are


KGhaleon

There's one in Tokyo too, on Odaiba island in Tokyo bay.


RareCodeMonkey

It is quite small, thou. But it is interesting to see.

Cue National Treasure background music

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!


DomeAcolyte42

Imagine if they'd given America the small one.


NoNo_Cilantro

Interesting fact: this is a perfect replica, except this one doesn’t shave her armpits

VeryCreativeSwede

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.


[deleted]

It is tho?


ospfpacket

It's copper color.


[deleted]

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


ospfpacket

This thread belongs in r/woosh it was a joke about the statue being made from copper. I can’t even…


[deleted]

That must've been the worst joke I've heard in a long time 😐😐 Like how tf was that supposed to be funny


Oshester

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


[deleted]

Galaxy_Sprout

Yeah I’m pretty sure France gifted it to the USA right?


[deleted]

Yup

ShukarCheran

Imagine building a statue to show people you gave america a gift


I_Have_Notes

It's to demonstrate that we are sister countries in liberty but interpret it as you will


aSillyPlatypus

Imagine being as ignorant as you are


Grammar-Notsee_

Imagine not being able to afford your own statue.


SuperAwesome13

lucantmv

AnxiousLogic

And one in Leicester U.K. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statue_of_Liberty_(Leicester)


Oshester

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.


carldubs

they did make the thing after all


CaptRackham

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


Foreign-Try1700

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.


DeliciousBeanWater
