The torch-bearing arm, also accessible, offers an up-close encounter with the intricate copper craftsmanship and a glimpse into the original torch's display in the museum. Plan your visit well in advance, especially for crown access. Allow sufficient time for security checks and ferry boarding. Respect the solemnity of the site, as it holds historical and cultural significance.
