Without a shadow of a doubt one of the most famous buildings and geographic locations in the world. Thanks Rocky. (You can find his statue to the side of the bottom of the stairs) This building gives commanding views of downtown Philadelphia, down Benjamin Franklin Blvd to the gloriously awe inspiring City Hall.

The Philadelphia Museum of Art is definitely one of the very outstanding museums of the world.…
