The Musée d'Orsay in Paris is hosting an exhibition dedicated to the French origins of the Statue of Liberty and its creator, sculptor Auguste Bartholdi. Running until January 31, 2027, the exhibition explores the monument's conception as a gift from France to the United States.

Developed in collaboration with the Bartholdi Museum in Colmar, the event aims to highlight Bartholdi's work and the technical stages of the statue's realization, from its initial idea to its transport to the New World. The exhibition includes a virtual reality experience that allows visitors to follow the sculptor through the realization of his colossal project.
