My recollection of the statue is that the staircase & people spaces are very
cramped & the overall space fairly big & dark inside & very bright outside &
very small windows.
I'd suggest your widest lens & fastest film for inside shots & let the windows
go totally white. Flash? -if you like it. Given the dark walls, bouncing won't
work too well.
