7 States With the Most UNESCO World Heritage Sites 

New York state is home to two UNESCO World Heritage Sites, both celebrated in their own right.

The first of the two, the Statue of Liberty, serves as a national symbol for freedom and democracy and is a must-see tourist destination in New York Harbor. A collaboration between sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi and engineer Gustave Eiffel, the 305-foot sculpture was a gift from France to the United States in 1886. In 2019, New York City's Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum was also added to the illustrious UNESCO list, as part of the 20th Century Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright. This UNESCO World Heritage Site includes eight of Wright's most famous works, constructed over the course of five decades. The Guggenheim is not only an architectural marvel with its spiral design, but also a cultural landmark that features work from legendary artists such as Jackson Pollock and Pablo Picasso.
