“United by Liberty” presents the 140-year history of the world-renowned symbol of the fundamental democratic values of America and the entire free world – Statue of Liberty in New York.
The exhibition gains special symbolism thanks to its location: it is arranged at the pedestal of its Ukrainian “sister”, the Motherland Monument, the tallest sculpture in Europe, which today embodies Ukrainian resilience and unbreakable spirit.
The synergy of these two iconic monuments within a single space figuratively emphasizes the steadfast and close ties between Ukraine and the United States of America, which share a common foundation — the pursuit of freedom, the affirmation of democratic values, and the defense of sovereignty.
The exhibition has been created by the War Museum in cooperation with the Embassy of the United States of America in Ukraine and the U.S. National Park Service.
