The Statue of Liberty

The Statue of Liberty stands at the mouth of the Hudson River in New York Harbor. The statue is a gift from France, dedicated in 1886 to celebrate the centennial of the United States of America.

Miss Piggy has been pictured as the Statue of Liberty in many forms, beginning with a Sigma Ceramics candlestick in the early 80's.

In 1985, Piggy also starred as the Statue in The Muppet Show On Tour: 2nd Edition, in a 'Salute to America' musical number.

In 1986, Piggy dressed as "Miss Liberté" for the centerfold poster of Muppet Magazine issue 15.

Piggy appeared on screen as the Statue at the climax of Muppet*Vision 3-D’s closing number. She forms the centerpiece of the fountain outside the Muppet*Vision theater in Walt Disney World, and a number of Piggy items sold at the theme park have featured her in the Statue of Liberty costume.

The real Statue of Liberty appears in a MasterCard commercial with the Muppets, shot on location in New York.
