The new museum was under construction the last time I visited. They did such a good job on showing the crucial details of Lady Liberty and her history. The movies, narrations, and exhibits were all so well done. Travel tip: get the free self guided audio tour as you come in as they are very well done and are packed with information.
This place is well worth the visit preferably before you see the statue but also amazing checking it out afterward. If you’re strapped for time, check out the 10 minute movie in the theater. It gives so much context for the statue and also the rest of the museum! It’s also really cool to catch the original torch on exhibit!
Statue of Liberty Museum: Please don’t miss to visit the Liberty Museum. You can see lots of historical photos and information about this monument. Inside the Theatre you can watch a documentary video that describes all about its history; I think everybody will enjoy watching this video and loving it.:-)
I recommend visiting the Statue of Liberty Museum before entering the Statue of Liberty. You can see lots of historical photos and information about this iconic monument. Very educational and interesting.
Must place to visit while in NY. Make sure to prebook ferries as sometimes they gets filled very fast.
Here you can see and get check all the information of how was the statue of 🗽 liberty was mad.
Great experoence and educational. We learned about its history in a detailed and easy to understand way.
This is a small museum next to the status of liberty. Theres many exhibits and information displays in here. The main problem that I have about this museum is that food and drinks are not permitted inside. So people have to take turns going inside (someone holds the food and drinks outside) or people have to finish eating or drinking before they could enter the museum. Another thing I notice is the information in this museum is a bit redundance. I went to the statue of liberty and climbed up to the pedestal, and theres also a museum there that explains the same exact history about the statue of liberty.
A wonderful museum to learn about our history and the amazing statue of Liberty!
Amazing and interesting museum where you can learn about Statue Of Liberty history!
I didnt know before visiting the Liberty island that there was a museum at all. Although compact it is well worth a visit - if not only for the Everlasting lamp - the original replaced during refurbishment - quite a sight to see up close.
30 minutes before the last ferry they closed all bathrooms on the island. They still treat visitors like deprived immigrants a hundred years ago.
Loved the museum. The staff needs to treat people better 😠
You can learn the historical background of the Statue of Liberty.Great place
The museum is worth your time. Its not very large, but it provides guests with an impactful message about the history of the Statue of Liberty.
Statue of Liberty designed by Bartholdi. 155 feet tall. Took 5 years to build.
Awesome museum. Built in 2019. Concisely explains history and building of the statue.
The museum is nice. It had a lot of information about the Statue from conception to completion. Its cool to see the forms and the building process along with the original torch. The 10 minute video in 3 parts was cool to watch.
Great place to come with the family .The museum is really nice.
The view from the roof of the museum is really great!
The Statue of Liberty Museum is located on Liberty Island in New York City. The museum opened on May 16, 2019,[1] and is focused on the creation, meaning, and history of the Statue of Liberty (formally Liberty Enlightening the World), a large statue by Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi which the people of France gave to the people of the United States in 1886.
An amazing place, short ferry ride from Battery Park. Majestic monument you cant take your eyes off of.
Located on Liberty Island, just behind the Statue of Liberty, this museum has been created to help tourists learn a little extra about Americas most iconic symbol. When you take the ferry to the island, I recommend going here before you go explore the glorious sculpture that towers over it. I can understand the impulse to just go and start photographing the Lady Liberty. But since youve made it so far and youre finally here, might as well make your while worth it and go away with more than just a few pictures. Oh and they have some stuff you can buy as memorabilia too. Good museum!
A small museum but worth the time once your on the island. Maybe if it was a tad bigger a deeper story could be told but what is there is great.
This is a small but historic museum. Its absolutely amazing how much work & detail went into building the statue & the reconstruction in the 80s. I loved the background Music & also if u read everything itll take u 3 hours 2 do the whole thing. Outside u have a excellent view of Manhattan & the skyscrapers including The Freedom Tower & Empire State Building. The big gift shop has so many interesting things that u can buy.
Very beutiful place. Also very interesting museum. Very good place to be with family. Transportation to island is also safe. Recomended
Absolutely incredible history on the Statue, and its maker. Take the time to visit. The history is rich and well documented.
A simple yet perfect museum for this structure.The statue made up of pictures is awesome and so inclusive for everyone.So much pride there.
A great museum that takes people through the history and building of the statue of liberty monument. I recommend this to be the first place you visit once you get into the island before you exhaust yourself walking around the monument. Here youll learn cool stuff about the monument and just how it came to be. Aside from that theres a huge screen that displays data and photographs of the visitors. If you want yours to be displayed just opposite the screen are small vertical interactive touch screens where you input your details and take a selfie. Once published, the details and your photograph is going to be displayed on the huge screen for everyone to see. You should definitely try this. Theres even an option of sending the picture to your email. Overall a great place to be and get to learn and touch the real stuff that were used to make the statue of liberty. Enjoy!
One of the best museums associated with a national monument I have been to. Some of the digital installation were so up to date - especially the one which takes an image of you and creates a digital mosaic out of many images. A lot of thought seem to have gone into many of these mukti media based installations. And the history of creation of Statue of Liberty forms alive with these installations. The new one toward the edge of the island was a refreshing visit. The old one near the base of the statue which has not been dismantled was a good visit too
Newly constructed museum just opposite to flag and a very scenic look out of NJ and statue. Movie in theater show case the history and great presentation about Statue of Liberty journey so far. Dont forget to try your potrait and see yourself on 100 ft digital screen. This make you feel to be part of Liberty and kids are crazy to see their pics on such a big screen.
Great 👍🏻 everything was ok. 👌
This new museum includes a variety of exhibits. Most impactful is the interactive digital display where every visitor is invited to contribute what liberty means to them. Each persons photo and answers are launched to the large screen where all of the contributions create a collage. Its a fun community building activity.
If you come to the Liberty Island do not miss the museum, the movie in the theater is must see. Tells you so much about the history and I promise you will have goose bumps 😊
Excellent place everything clean organized beautiful the staff very kind and friendly I’m really happy visiting this place fully recommended
Tons of info on the statue and history of the island. Scale size models of the statue, her flame, etc. Definitely worth a visit.
A must see if you are visiting the Statue of Liberty. It gives a lot of information about the history ans you can see the old pieces of it.
A place that you definitely have to visit if you like history and museums, I loved it and I learned some new things. beautiful place
Statue of Liberty National Museum is a must see! The museum was very informative and I enjoyed our visit very much. I highly recommend it to everyone visiting New York!
A very nice museum tells the story of the Statue
It was very informative and interesting. It was a perfect day
The Statue of Liberty (Statue of Liberty) is one of the most famous landmarks in New York City. .officially Liberty Enlightening the World, it is located on Liberty Island south of Manhattan, at the mouth of the Hudson and near Ellis Island. it was offered by the French in 1886, to celebrate the centenary of the American declaration of independence and as a sign of friendship between the two nations. the inauguration of the statue was celebrated on October 28, 1886 in the presence of the President of the United States, Grover Cleveland. The idea came from Édouard Laboulaye, a lawyer and professor at the Collège de France, in 1865.the project was entrusted in 1871 to the French sculptor Auguste Bartholdi. The choice of the brass to be used in the construction was entrusted to the architect Eugène Viollet-le-Duc, who had the idea of using the repoussé technique. in 1879, on the death of Eugène Viollet-le-Duc, Bartholdi called on the engineer Gustave Eiffel to decide on the internal structure of the statue. The latter imagines a metal pylon which supports the hammered and fixed copper plates. the statue is also part of the National Historic Landmarks since October 15, 1924 and of the world heritage list established by UNESCO since 1984.the Statue of Liberty, in addition to being a very important monument of New York City, has become one of the symbols of the United States, representing more generally freedom and emancipation vis-à-vis of oppression. architecturally, the statue recalls the Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of the ancient world. Finally, it constitutes the main element of the national monument of the Statue of Liberty, managed by the National Park Service (NPS)
A nice small but Cool museum, and I highly recommend going there your selves.
Status of Liberty Museum is used to keep the things which was used in the Status of Liberty. It is a nice museum.
Up kept. Great history. Be sure to stop by. Read and relax. Clean here
🥰
Even better than get the crown. Highly recommended. You can spend 2 or 3 hours in there. It totally worth it.
It was a great experience never had I thought I could go there to visit
It’s a great experience
The museum has a small movie theater.

Historical place
The museum is a special place. You learn a lot of the history and the statue. It is free and you can make beautiful pictures. There is a digital place you made a picture from you and you become a special liberty visitor.
Amazing Museum. Informative and interactive. Great for kids as well
Located inside the Statue of Liberty complex, the museum is a must-stop for anyone visiting the statue...It is possible to know the whole story from the project to the last restoration....With the help of the telephone that allows you to listen to the story in several languages, you can dive into the history of this American symbol that fills its people with pride....Mandatory stop....I highly recommend....
Super nice free museum for young and old. Cool interactive photo wall. Very nice view above the museum.
It is the image that you will take from New York, if you are surprised when you see it up close, the place where it is located is phenomenal to walk and have a good time.The views from the island are really beautiful.
A very beautiful museum, the truth is that I highly recommend the story they tell, I did not know it, I highly recommend that you visit it, admission is free
The truth is excellentEverything they did in this place👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼All the information one learnsThe mix of technology, monuments, architectures and pieces that are there is something you can not miss
Before entering it is good to have a quarter coin on hand to use the locker and store food or other belongings. While in the museum, you are only allowed to bring water. There are elevators but they only allow use for people with a wheelchair. The good thing about going on foot is that you can see the museum displays. Important and interesting information about the construction and history of the Statue of Liberty. All staff only speak English. Being on the pedestal of the statue, you cannot take a picture of it, but you can take a view of the New York skyline.
The museum is included in the normal admission ticket to liberty island so I highly recommend you visit it, its not very big but there you can learn all the history behind the construction of the statue of liberty.
The museum is clear and nicely done. The exhibits give you an even better idea of the actual size of the statue.
Simple but emotional museum, since the values that the statue symbolizes are clearly explained and that invite reflection. There is an interesting attraction, where they take a photo of you and after a few minutes it appears in a huge animated mural where the photos of the visitors end up contributing and forming part of the silhouette of the statue. Highly recommended.
You simply have to see this imposing structure.From the island you have an excellent view of downtown Manhattan.A tour of the museum is also highly recommended. You learn a lot about the history and construction of the statue.In combination with Ellis Island, 5 hours are away quickly. 🗽
This museum is a great success to visit, it is small but very interesting. Here you can see a little of how, because, when the statue was built, its history and historical objects that are worth visiting, it also has a themed area for everyone who wants to use it.
The Statue of Liberty is an international landmark and is located in the United States
Very interesting. With content about the construction of the statue of liberty and many curiosities. They let you touch various objects and everything is very well explained. I recommend it.
Free museum with a small film that summarizes the history of the statue.
The building is new and clean, there are toilets and drinking fountains. Souvenirs are also sold.This is a place you should stop by before you get on the ferry.
It is very beautiful and worthy of envy. Surely, Allah is the Most Forgiving and Merciful. All this is thanks to him
My little raccoon had funVery good service :D
Admission to the museum is included in the ferry ticket. So theres no reason not to check out the background info here!
An incredible place with a great view, with interesting elements such as the beautiful torch that was previously, accompanied by great stories of the statue which are distributed in different rooms, you can also see different sculptures during the tour.
Nice little museum with the full story about the character. From planning to construction and opening.
Very beautiful museum and worth a visit ♥ ️
Nice little museum to learn the construction stages of the Statue of Liberty
The story of the Statue of Liberty is worked up great here.
New York City History Museum, The Museum opens on May 16 2019 and focuses on the creator, meaning and history of the Statue of Liberty, a large statue by: FREDRIC AGUSTE BARTHOLDIWhat the French gave to the people of the United States in 1886.
Nothing thrilling, but you can see how you are already there ...
It is accurate, it is worth stopping and visiting. I would say its free. There is a place where they put a “movie” of the history of the Statue of Liberty in 3 parts and that was what I liked most of all. It is amazing, highly recommended
Two words
Very good historical place
Very interesting and impressive exhibition about the construction of the statue
Fantastic. There is a nice museum there. A slide show on how the statue of liberty was made 🗽.
The statue is a symbol of Libertas, the Roman goddess of liberty dressed in it. He holds a torch over his head with his right hand, and in his left hand the date of the US Declaration of Independence - IULY IV MDCCLXXVI (July 4, 1776, Rome) tabula ansata. The broken chains and the chain are moving forward in connection with the recent abolition of national slavery. [8] After the dedication, the statue became a symbol of freedom and the United States of America; it was a pleasure to meet the migrants from the sea.
Beautiful museum, with an impressive history. It is recommended to go early to appreciate everything.
The museum is small 🏛 but very interesting and pleasant
Interesting and not very long
Beautiful, a spectacle!

2022-08-24The Statue of Liberty Museum is a great companion institution to the Statue of Liberty itself. Here one can learn about the inspiration, construction, and legacy of this great monument. There is a three segment film about the Statue of Liberty narrated by respected broadcast journalist Diane Sawyer, as well as historical exhibits and interactive displays. All of these are highly interesting, but my favorite highlight is seeing the original landmarks torch that was replaced in 1984 due to irreparable damage up close here at the museum.

2022-07-14Visited on a Tuesday (7/12/22), crowds were not that bad. I will tell you we left from the Liberty State Park (Jersey City) in NJ and immediately after clearing security there was no line and we were able to board the ferry before our 12pm ticket time which was awesome as it was a hot day and we were not prepared to be waiting in the sun but we got lucky. The Museum is air conditioned so it was a great place to take a break from the heat and enjoy the many displays and informational areas throughout the building.

2022-06-12A museum located in the park. It is a great experience to learn the history behind the Statue of Liberty. Managed to watch the movie describing the process behind the creation of the monument which was amazing. A definite must for us to appreciate the Liberty to be more than meets the eye.

2022-03-16This was an interesting experience. This museum really clearly explained the history of the Statue of Liberty, including the construction and ongoing efforts to maintain it. It also discussed its place in American culture. I would definitely recommend it.
Review №5
2022-09-21Youll need an hour or more in the museum on Liberty Island and another hour to walk around the island itself. Thats if youre not going into the pedestal.The museum is very interactive with many models to view of the various stages of the statue. Park rangers are on site to answer questions and discuss the history. There is also a junior ranger program here so if youre bringing kids make sure to do that and get their junior ranger badges.
Review №6
2022-08-21Used to think the Statue of Liberty is just another structure, but was awed by the rich history it encompasses. Turns out the original colour is copper bronze, but the oxidation gave it the greenish hue. Super cool place to explore the origins of the statue.
Review №7
2022-07-27Included in the ticket price to visit the statue you can enjoy this museum that presents the history of the statue. You can have a look at one of the torches used for the statue not the original one! (I see some mistaking for the original one.) Some of the information is a bit redundant, if not good museum definitely worth checking out when on the island.
Review №8
2021-12-06Yes, the Statue is amazing but at this museum you will learn the story behind it. Its free and well worth your time. You will also see original artifacts that dont exist anywhere else. They also have very clean bathrooms and friendly park rangers.
Review №9
2022-06-18A surprisingly detailed and explanatory museum!The history and process behind the statue are covered in great detail, and we ended up spending over an hour here. Theres also a 3-part film to watch, although youll end up sitting on the floor and having to change room every ~5 minutes to see the whole thing!

2022-06-09The museum actually is a fancy version of the museum inside the pedestal. The theatre presents a lot of informative answers from the pedestal. If you don’t have tickets to the pedestal. This museum is even more details and fancier choice
