I probably sound stupid with this one , but until tonight I never knew that there are three Statues of Liberty. The first one of course is in New York, but does anyone know where the other two are ?

I was reading up on this and I have to say that it is very interesting, indeed ..

I remember when they put up the original, which was an art project made of venetian blinds on a wooden framework. College kids did it in about '86, got in trouble at first, but the locals raised holy hell to make sure it stayed up. I thought it was maybe the best piece of local art I'd ever seen, as it created such a stir, and was so inspiring. The one there now was designed to withstand weather.--->JMS

There is also a Statue of Liberty in Birmingham, Alabama. Click here to read more. I have seen it many times.

There are many models of the Statue of Liberty throughout the U.S. and the world, but this one, originally a fixture on the Liberty National Insurance company in downtown Birmingham, is one of the largest in the world.

"A bronze replica, one-fifth the size of the Statue of Liberty, was commissioned by Frank Park Samford as the symbol for the company he founded, Liberty National Life Insurance Company. Created by sculptors Archer and Lee Lawrie, the statue was cast in Sommerville Haut Marine, France, in 1956 and was placed atop Liberty National's home office building in downtown Birmingham and then moved to its present location and dedicated on July 4, 1989."

There's one in Sinking Valley also. It's in a little acrylic globe that you shake up and glitter floats all around. Pretty amazing for Sinking Valley.
