Unlike many museums, the Liberty Museum faces a current problem instead of documenting the past. Three floors of displays and multi-media presentations are intended to reflect America's roots in freedom and equality and how it can be used today to confront bigotry and hatred. Glass is the medium used in many of the works on display to reflect the delicate balance between freedom and persecution. The most notable piece of the art collection is "The Flame of Liberty," a 20-foot glass sculpture by Dale Chihuly. See their website for further information.

  • Flame of Liberty and Jelly Bean People

“I really enjoyed my class trip to the New Liberty Museum. I really like their glass feature of the flame of liberty because I know how fragile glass is and sometimes it can be protective, but the Flame of liberty tells me that all people have feelings that is fragile and can easily be hurt and broken. I also liked the Eyes of The World because everyone that saw that presentation now knows that they are not alone and someone is always watching them even if they don't know it. I really enjoyed my visit and I hope someday I can have another experience that I did February 21 2005 with the College of Maxson Middle School.”
