A new 2,400 square-meter museum is set to open on New York State’s Liberty Island next year. The museum celebrates the world famous Statue of Liberty. The statue was a gift from the people of France to the United States. It officially opened to the public in October 1886. From 1892 to 1954, more than 12 million immigrants passed by the Statue of Liberty as their ships sailed to nearby Ellis Island. Many immigrants later traveled to Liberty Island and saw the statue up close. At the bottom, are the words of poet Emma Lazarus: “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free…” Now, a new museum to honor ‘Lady Liberty’ is on the way. Nicholas Garrison is a partner with FXCollaborative, a New York-based company that plans and designs buildings. He designed the museum. "When we first came on the island, we were moved. We…saw people on their knees, crying, because of what this place meant, and it kind of sunk into us that this is a really special, sacred place."
