Rocky Balboa Statue at the Philadelphia Museum of Art

A bronze statue of the fictional boxer Rocky Balboa (portrayed by Sylvester Stallone) is installed on the grounds of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The prop statue became associated with the 1976 film Rocky and was donated to the city; it is a frequent photo subject for visitors. The museum steps in front of the building are popularly known as the 'Rocky Steps' because of the film sequence in which the character runs up them.
