Statue of Libery-Ellis Island Foundation

A rendering of the Statue of Liberty Museum.

New York City is building a $70 million museum devoted to telling the 130-year history of Lady Liberty.

Set to open in 2019, the Statue of Liberty Museum will be located on Liberty Island in New York City.

The Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation held a groundbreaking ceremony on October 6, and unveiled the renderings of the museum, which will be designed by the NYC-based architecture firm FXFOWLE. The project is a collaboration between the foundation, which manages the island and the statue, and the National Park Service.

Entry to the museum will be included in the ferry ticket ($18 for adults) to Liberty and Ellis Islands.
