When tasked with designing the new Statue of Liberty Museum, FXCollaborative<\/a> faced an immense challenge: How do you conceive a building fit to tell the story of another structure with almost unparalleled cultural significance? Traveling to Liberty Island last week for a preview tour of this new museum, the answer became apparent even before disembarking the ferry.<\/p>\n

FXCollaborative has carefully crafted an architecture that is soft, subtle and subservient to the monument for which it is dedicated. Sited at the north-western end of the island, the 26,000-square-foot museum appears to rise out of the park, surrounded by and partly covered in native vegetation.<\/p>\n

The building\u2019s meadow-covered roof and broad glass entrance feels appropriately accessible for those coming to learn about America\u2019s original symbol of inclusivity. \u201cFrom the start,\u201d explained project architect Nicholas Garrison, \u201cthe Statue of Liberty Museum was conceived as a garden pavilion that would create a joyous and welcoming new experience for all visitors to the island, regardless of age, nationality, or ethnicity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Material homages to the Statue run throughout the museum\u2019s exterior. A ribbon of copper cladding follows the angled edge of the building \u2014 it will turn green over time, matching the Statue\u2019s famous patina. The museum is raised up to avoid damage from storm water in the future, yet feels grounded thanks to the use of solid materials such as precast concrete and Stony Creek Granite \u2014 the same type used for the Statue of Liberty\u2019s pedestal.<\/p>\n

Inside, a series of powerful films tell the story of the Statue\u2019s conception in Paris, all the way through to its construction in New York\u2019s Upper Bay in 1886. Installations then highlight Liberty\u2019s design iterations, including working models and drawings that show just how different Lady Liberty looked before dozens of iterations were made. Full-scale plaster casts and fragments of copper also reveal the ingenious techniques used to create the giant Statue\u2019s flowing robe.<\/p>\n

Finally, a gently sloping ceiling rises to its highest point to accommodate the museum\u2019s most awe-inspiring exhibit: The Statue of Liberty\u2019s original torch has been cleaned up, relit and relocated here, bringing home the immense scale of the monument. The torch is housed within the museum\u2019s most transparent section, surrounded on three sides by 22-foot-high, bird-safe glass walls.<\/p>\n

At this key point in the journey, the building acts as a lens \u2014 both literally and metaphorically \u2014 that offers us a chance to see a familiar icon from a new perspective. This is a tried-and-tested architectural move. Similar strategies were deployed, though in very different ways, for Bernard Tschumi Architects<\/a>\u2019 Acropolis Museum<\/a> in Athens and Henegan Peng Architects<\/a>\u2019 Giants Causeway Visitor Centre<\/a> in Northern Ireland.<\/p>\n

Each of these buildings forms a frame through which to view an extraordinary fragment of history, be it manmade or natural. In the case of the Statue of Liberty Museum, this concept is taken a step further: Its roof, an inhabitable terrace, acts as a viewing gallery for the entire of lower Manhattan. Climbing the granite steps to stand directly above the torch room, a historic panorama awaits.<\/p>\n

To the left, we glimpse One World Trade Center<\/a> and the rest of the world\u2019s most recognizable skyline across the water. To the right, we find ourselves not only looking at Lady Liberty, but gazing with<\/em> her towards the harbor beyond. It is an ideal moment to reflect upon the original meaning of the Statue, a shining beacon of hope and excitement for those immigrants arriving by boat just a few decades ago.<\/p>\n

Herein lies the success of FXCollaborative\u2019s museum: The building does not distract from the story that makes this tiny island so significant. Rather, it illustrates how architecture can amplify a story, providing a platform upon which history can continue to be built. These are qualities that would undoubtedly be appreciated by the artists and engineers that constructed Lady Liberty herself.<\/p>\n

The Statue of Liberty Museum opens to the public on May 16th 2019. Access to the Museum is free with purchase of a ferry ticket to visit Liberty Island and Ellis Island.<\/p>\n
