Is there more than one statue of liberty

Note: One of the liberties is on loan to the US, so technically there are only seven. First: a lightning quick guide for those who don't know: The Statue of Liberty was designed by French sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi and constructed by Gustave Eiffel (yes, the man who made the Eiffel Tower).

The 'second' Statue of Liberty, as it is being called, is currently on its way from Paris to New York City, retracing the steps of its "big sister", a colossal neoclassical sculpture that now stands guard on Liberty Island in New York Harbor, within the New York City.

There are two genuine statues and several lesser versions of the Statue of Liberty. The original and most famous is the one located on Liberty Island, a gift from the French to America.

While the colossal Statue of Liberty's home is in New York, there are several smaller statues scattered around Paris. Bartholdi created numerous replicas which were then given to different museums and organizations that remain a part of Paris even today.
