The Statue of Liberty will reopen to the public today, the US landmark's 126th anniversary.
The statue has been closed for renovation to its interior, although the public has been allowed to visit its Liberty Island grounds in New York Harbor.
The US$30 million renovation that began last year included replacing the stairs to the crown and making them less steep. There are now 393 steps instead of 354.
About 3.5 million people visit the statue every year. Officials say the renovations will allow an additional 26,000 visitors a year.
