In the series premiere of Undiscarded, Tania talks to City Reliquary founder Dave Herman about one of the highlights (pun intended) of the museum’s most celebrated collection. It’s a humble-looking artifact donated by a man who dedicated his life to serving that most magnificent of New York icons: The Statue of Liberty.
