Rodin Museum 'The Thinker' pose jokes

The Rodin Museum on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway displays multiple casts of Auguste Rodin’s works, including the well-known sculpture The Thinker. Visitors often pose imitating The Thinker, and locals frequently joke about tourists striking that same contemplative pose for photos. The practice of copying the sculpture for photographs is a widely observed visitor behavior at the museum. The Rodin Museum interprets Rodin’s work and is part of Philadelphia’s museum row.
