Kunth was a close confidant of Alexander Georg von Humboldt, the head of the family. After Humboldt's early death in 1779, Kunth assumed the responsibility of advising his widow, Marie-Elisabeth, and managing her estate.
About the Climb. Once inside the Statue of Liberty, you can explore the museum in the pedestal and then begin the climb to the crown. The climb itself is strenuous -- 354 steps, equivalent to 20 stories -- and only recommended for people in good physical health. Inside the statue stairwell is quite cramped, as the steps are only 19 inches wide and very steep.
Statue of Liberty Tiara. The Statue of Liberty tiara or crown actually consists of seven spikes that represent the seven continents and oceans that we have on this planet. And just for the sake of trivia, it will take prospective visitors a total of 354 stairs for them to be able to reach the Statue of Liberty tiara. Right now, the design of the Liberty's tiara is being copied and is now being used as a design by some major fashion companies on producing some of its crown accessories. Like many other parts of the Liberty's figure, the tiara had also become a subject of various interpretations of why it was designed that way.
