To be fair, the Statue of Liberty is a bit crap.
Slightly more than half of its claimed height (305'1") is in fact the fucking huge plinth (154'), which is all you'll see from the ground. And every movie portrayal of it makes it out to be much, much bigger than it really is.
There's the much nicer and less bullshitted-about Colosso di San Carlos Borromeo in Arona, just north of Milan, which for a start doesn't cheat by holding a torch over its head, nor do they assume you're a terrorist and make you book in for an anal probe months in advance to climb up the inside of it:
