Replicas of the Statue of Liberty

[1] On the occasion of the Exposition Universelle of 1900, sculptor Frédéric Bartholdi crafted a 1/16 scale, 2.743 metre (nine-foot) version[2] of his Liberty Enlightening the World.

Since 2012 it has stood within the entrance hall to the Musée d'Orsay, and a newly constructed bronze replica stands in its place in the Jardin du Luxembourg.

It is a quarter-scale version (11.50 metres (37 feet 9 inches) high), and was one of the working models used during construction of the actual Statue of Liberty.

The 2.86-metre (9.4 ft) tall original plaster maquette finished in 1878 by Auguste Bartholdi that was used to make the statue in New York is in the Musée des Arts et Métiers in Paris.

In 1997, the torch became an unofficial memorial to Diana, Princess of Wales after she was killed in a car accident in the Pont de l'Alma tunnel.

It was made for the 1969 French film, Le Cerveau ("The Brain"), directed by Gérard Oury and featuring actors Jean-Paul Belmondo and Bourvil.

On the night of 25 March 2003, unknown vandals poured red paint and gasoline on the replica and set it on fire.

[15] A 12 m (39 ft 4 in) replica of the Statue of Liberty in Colmar, the city of Bartholdi's birth, was dedicated on 4 July 2004, to commemorate the 100th anniversary of his death.

This was the home of the US 48th Tactical Fighter Wing, now based at Lakenheath, England, with its own statue at the flag plaza.

This is one of Bartholdi's first models and overlooks the Mediterranean Sean on the Quai des Etats-Unis (the promenade of the United States).

[5] A 35 m (115 ft) copy is in the German Heidepark Soltau theme park, located on a lake with cruising Mississippi steamboats.

It is a sculpture on a dome of the house (15, Liberty Avenue [uk]) built by architect Yuriy Zakharevych and decorated by sculptor Leandro Marconi in 1874–1891.

A 17 ft (5.2 m), 9,200 kg (9.2 tons) replica stood atop the Liberty Shoe factory in Leicester, England, until 2002 when the building was demolished.

There is also a small replica located at RAF Lakenheath, England, at the base flag plaza, made from leftover copper from the original.

[28] In Buenos Aires there is a small cast iron original replica in Barrancas de Belgrano Park located near the intersection of "La Pampa" and "Arribeños" streets.

On its base you can read the inscription “Val d'Osne – 8 Rue Voltaire, Paris”, the name of the French workshops and “1884” probably the year of creation.

There are also two cheaper non-metallic replicas; one is 6 m tall, located in the "New York" Casino in San Luis and the other crowns a commercial gallery, "Galería de Fabricantes", in Munro, a city in the northeast suburbs of Buenos Aires.

Bartholdi was commissioned by José Paranhos, Baron of Rio Branco to make a replica in order to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Republic of Brazil.

This replica is possibly a casting produced by the Fundição Val d'Osne [pt][84] in France, as in the Praça Lavenere Machado (formerly Praça Dois Leões) on the opposite side of the museum, there are four somewhat larger-than-life size cast metal statues of wild animals, at least one of which is embossed with the name of the foundry.

In Arequipa, the Plaza Las Américas in the Cerro Colorado district has a small replica in the monument in the middle of the square on top of a globe pointing to the American continent.

A small replica can be found in Vardhaman Fantasy, an amusement park in Mira Road, Mumbai along with six other wonders of the world.

During the Tiananmen Square protest of 1989, Chinese student demonstrators in Beijing built a 10 m (33 ft) image called the Goddess of Democracy, which sculptor Tsao Tsing-yuan said was intentionally "dissimilar" to the Statue of Liberty to avoid being "too openly pro-American."

A 15 foot high replica of the Statue of Liberty is at the western entrance of the village of Arraba in Israel, near a local restaurant.

The 13 foot high Statue of Liberty, crafted by YouFine Sculpture, was custom-made for an Israeli Resident and installed in front of his newly constructed yard.

Another replica is in Oirase[86] near the town of Shimoda south of Misawa in Aomori Prefecture, where the United States has an 8,000-person U.S. Air Force base.

The said monument was supposed to be sponsored by The Chicago Daily Times whose goal was "to commemorate one of the great epics in the struggle for human freedom–the liberation of the Philippines."

Jack P. Whitaker, the Scout Commissioner of the Kansas City Area Council at the time, had previously proposed the idea of creating and distributing replicas of the Statue of Liberty to every American state and territory, as well as the Philippines.

The task of choosing the perfect site was delegated to the National Urban Planning Commission, and among those it considered were “Engineer Island, atop the proposed reviewing stand on the Rizal Park, and on the center island rotunda between the Old Legislative building and Manila City Hall.” In the end, the Boy Scouts of the Philippines (BSP) erected the statue just outside Intramuros.

Following the war, Leopoldo's son, Francisco, assumed control of the business, and subsequently, the store relocated to Echague.

It was known to locals unaware of its history as Tượng Bà đầm xòe [vi] (Statue of the Western lady wearing dress).
