On this day, 140 years ago, on June 19, 1885 (May 7, 1885 lunar calendar), the "Muse of Liberty" in the United States was inaugurated. On Bedro Island at the mouth of the Hudson River in New York City, USA, stood a tall bronze statue facing the Atlantic Ocean. It is the famous "Muse of Liberty" statue. This bronze statue was selected and built according to the beautiful image of the Muse in Greek mythology. Muse wears a forehead hoop on his head, holds a torch high in his right hand, and holds the Declaration of Independence in his left hand. The Muse statue is 46.5 meters high, and together with its base, it is 93 meters high. The Muse seems to be cast from part of a 2.4 cm thick copper plate. At the base of the pedestal is a museum. Visitors can enter the bronze statue to the top of Muse's head, where more than 30 people can be accommodated, and the panoramic view of New York can be overlooked through the glass windows. On June 19, 1885, the "Muse of Liberty" in the United States was inaugurated. On October 28, 1886, the American people held a grand ceremony to inaugurate the Muse of Liberty. Why did the French people give this gift to the United States? It has to start with the relationship between the American War of Independence and the French people. The American War of Independence was a just cause, and it was widely sympathized and supported by the international progressive forces. The immortal merits of the American War of Independence also strengthened the friendship between the French and American people. The "Muse of Liberty" is like a symbol of the friendship between the French and American people.
