Panoramic photograph of museum gallery with windows facing the Statue of Liberty
The original 1886 torch is the centerpiece of the Statue of Liberty Museum. Originally designed to be solid sheets of copper and gilded, openings were cut into the flame to allow use as a lighthouse or beacon. Its current appearance reflects the third round of alterations completed in 1916.
