USA will get a second Statue of Liberty from France

France will send a second statue of Liberty to the US possibly as a gift of next year’s Independence Day.

On Monday, “little sister” was loaded into a special container at the National Museum of Arts and Crafts (CNAM) in central Paris, France. The statue was there at the museum’s garden since 2011.

The statue weights over 450 kilograms and is roughly 12 feet tall. The statue was made in 2009. It was preserved by CNAM until now.

The bronze statue will be displayed on Ellis Island on Independence Day.

After Independence day, it’s destination will be Washington DC where it will be on display at the French ambassador’s residence.
