Why Statue of Liberty is green? #facts #america #history

Did you know that Statue of Liberty did not have a green color when it was installed in 1886? Originally, it was a dull brown copper color, but shortly after 1900 a green patina, caused by the oxidation of the copper skin, began to spread and by 1906 entirely covered the statue. Believing that the patina was evidence of corrosion, Congress authorized US$62,800 (equivalent to $2,045,000 in 2022) to paint the statue both inside and out. This caused considerable public protest and ultimately the statue was painted only on the inside.
