The Statue of Liberty is one of the most iconic landmarks in the world, but what's inside its torch? In this video, we take a tour inside the statue to find out.
We'll see how the torch was built, what materials were used, and how the light worked. We'll also learn about the history of the torch, which has been replaced twice over the years.

clarification 1.
Though Bartholdi did place lighting within the torch initially, the idea of adding a series of floodlights to the balcony of the torch was not introduced until much later in the 20th century as the lights that were originally placed inside were not strong enough. However, this idea was scrapped due to the concerns over the pilots. We apologize for any confusion that the wording of the video may have caused.”
