Replicas of the Statue of Liberty Replicas of the Statue of Liberty Hundreds of replicas of the Statue of Liberty ("Liberty Enlightening the World") have been created worldwide. On the occasion of the Exposition Universelle of 1900, Frédéric Bartholdi crafted a smaller version of "Liberty Enlightening the World", which he subsequently gave to the Musée du Luxembourg. In 1905, the statue was placed outside the museum in the Jardin du Luxembourg, where it stood for over a century, until 2014. It currently stands within the entrance hall to the Musée d'Orsay, and a newly constructed bronze replica stands in its place in the Jardin du Luxembourg.
Statue of William the Conqueror is also a commemorative plaque. William carries a gonfalon (banner) donated by Pope Alexander II. The sculptor, in order to make the work appear realistic, based his design on the Bayeux tapestry. Created with the help of a national subscription, it was unveiled on October 26, 1851. The six other statues are a later addition of September 19, 1875. The French inscription on the plaque translates into English as follows: This monument was erected by national subscriptionThe equestrian statue on October 26, 1851The statues of six dukes of Normandy on September 19, 1875 The statue is located on Place Guillaume-le-Conquérant
