You've hummed "Gonna Fly Now" while punching thin air (your toughest opponent) and imagined the day when you could huff and puff your way up the steps to the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Then the glorious day comes when you come face to face with that infamous Philly moment, and then you run the 72 steps and Strike A ROCKY Pose!
Just In Case You Forget What The Pose Looks Like....
…there’s a Bronze statue at the bottom of the steps. Although Rocky (Sylvestor Stallone) commissioned the statue in 1983 and had it placed at the top of the Philly Arm Museum steps, it would later be moved to the Wachovia Spectrum Sports Complex after a BIG debate about the meaning of art. The statue was replaced with the infamous Rocky foot prints. In 2006, Rocky made his way back to the museum and now sits at the bottom of the steps waiting for his next photo opp. Talk about drama!
Underachiever
You can’t lift your arms above your head? Come on, do the Rocky!
E! Channel ranked "Rocky Balboa runs the steps in 'Rocky'" at #13 in their 101 Most Awesome Moments in Entertainment
The Plaid Pose
Woah, check out those shorts.
She Looks Startled
And looks like she coordinated her outfit with the Cezanne Banner.
Two journalists from the Philadelphia Inquirer interviewed people who ran the steps, and published a book called Rocky Stories: Tales of Love, Hope, and Happiness at America’s Most Famous Steps in 1996.
Big Shoes to Fill
and you might want to rethink those shoes with white socks….just saying…

Philadelphia Museum Of Art
2600 Benjamin Franklin Pkwy, Philadelphia, PA 19130-2399 (Philadelphia Museum of Art)
Before you check out the masterpieces inside, let go of any pride and sprint your way up the 72 steps. Just make sure to pump your fists in the air and yell when you reach the Rocky point.
Celebrating Too Early
Sure, you’ve almost made it to the top but don’t get cocky now.
Rocky Multiplied
You know this picture is framed in one of their homes. I’ll admit it is a fabulous group shot.
