WHAT:
The new Statue of Liberty Museum on Liberty Island in New York will be
opening to the public on May 16. EarthCam has been documenting
construction of the incredible museum, including the relocation of the
Statue of Liberty’s original torch to its new home at the museum. Stay
tuned, as EarthCam will be premiering a 4K broadcast-quality time-lapse
movie of the entire construction process to celebrate the museum’s
opening!
WHY:
Using high-quality gigapixel panoramic webcam technology, EarthCam has
been documenting progress since 2016 and is sharing the views via a public web page. The museum will be the most significant addition to the island since the arrival of the Statue herself in June 1885. The
26,000-square-foot building will replace the small exhibition space
currently inside the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty. The unique
design features a glass roof that seemingly blends in with the
surrounding landscape and offers incredible views of America’s Great
Lady and the New York Harbor. The interior will feature the statue’s
original torch, which was replaced during a major renovation in the
1980s.
HOW: Celebrate
the opening of the new Statue of Liberty Museum on May 16 with
EarthCam’s 4K construction time-lapse movie, coming soon! If you would
