- SETE presents Lady Liberty at the Eiffel Tower from 12 October to 12 November 2026.

In Paris, the Eiffel Tower (Tour Eiffel) is hosting the Lady Liberty exhibition from 12 October to 12 November 2026. The programme links the monument in France with the Statue of Liberty in New York through Gustave Eiffel’s engineering work.
The exhibition is installed on the terrace of the tower’s first floor. It is being presented in partnership with the MuAM - Musée des Arts et Métiers, and remains available during the stated period for visitors to the Eiffel Tower.
Lady Liberty exhibition occupies the first-floor terrace
The exhibition follows the Statue of Liberty from its design in Paris to its installation in New York. Its subject is closely tied to the venue: Gustave Eiffel designed the statue’s metal framework, while the Eiffel Tower provides the setting for a presentation about that work.
Twelve illustrated panels set out the project’s origins, construction in Paris, journey across the Atlantic and later legacy. Plans and documents concerning Eiffel’s contribution sit alongside illustrations of the statue’s construction and material about replicas around the world. A section also considers the monument’s influence on art and collective imagination.
The programme includes material intended for younger visitors, including questions, anecdotes and facts arranged through the display. A quiz runs across several panels, with gifts collected from the first-floor gift shop. The exhibition therefore places a compact account of the Statue of Liberty inside one of Eiffel’s most recognisable structures.
The official exhibition programme gives the dates, venue and partnership. The City of Paris also lists the exhibition at Avenue Gustave Eiffel in the seventh arrondissement and describes it as a display on the first-floor terrace.
Gustave Eiffel links two landmarks across the Atlantic
The Statue of Liberty was inaugurated in New York Harbor in 1886. Auguste Bartholdi created its monumental form, while Gustave Eiffel designed the metal framework that supports it. That division of roles gives the current exhibition a direct connection to both the subject and the building where it is shown.
The Eiffel Tower was constructed for the Paris World’s Fair of 1889. Work began on 26 January 1887, and the structure was completed on 31 March 1889, after two years, two months and five days of construction. Its official history records 18,038 metallic parts, 2,500,000 rivets and 7,300 tonnes of iron.
The first-floor terrace is particularly relevant to the display because the exhibition is not a separate museum presentation elsewhere in Paris. It sits within the tower’s visitor route, turning the building’s own association with Eiffel into part of the context for the panels about Lady Liberty. The official construction history records the dates and technical figures of the monument.
