The term that describes what an object conveys about the important events, advancements, and people of a specific time period is called **historical significance**. It is a concept that is used by historians and other scholars to evaluate the things that importantly happened in the past. Historical significance can be defined as an information that is being conveyed by an artistic object about the important events, advancements, technology, phenomenon, and people that have existed and occurred over a specific time period.
For example, the **Statue of Liberty** is an object that conveys historical significance. It was gifted to the United States by France in 1886 to celebrate the centennial of American independence. The statue has since become a symbol of freedom and democracy around the world.
