who invented the statue of liberty
Drawing of the Statue of Liberty in Upper New York Bay. Designed by FrÃ©dÃ©ric Bartholdi in collaboration with the French engineer Gustave Eiffel (who was responsible for its frame) and dedicated on October 28, 1886, the Statue of Liberty is a large neoclassical sculpture on Liberty Island in New York Harbor. The statue was a gift to the United States from the people of France. The project was a joint effort between the French and American peoples. The French would provide the statue while the Americans would provide the site and build the pedestal. The Statue of Liberty stands at a height of 151 feet 1 inch (46 meters).
