World Peace Bell, Ceremonial bell in Newport, United States
The World Peace Bell measures 12 feet in diameter and height, weighing 66,000 pounds with a structure made of 80 percent copper and 20 percent tin.
Cast in France on December 11, 1998, the bell commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and was first rung on January 1, 2000.
The bell features inscriptions about the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and contains engravings depicting significant events from the previous millennium.
Visitors can see the World Peace Bell at 425 York Street in Newport, Kentucky, where it rings each day at noon with sound reaching up to 25 miles.
The bell employs an uncommon bent steel yoke design that shifts the rotation axis to its center of gravity, creating a specific swinging movement.
