The Philadelphia Museum of Art is remarkable not only for its unique exhibits. There's been plenty of times that the steps before the entrance of the museum have appeared in Rocky films. They're now called the "Rocky Steps".
An attentive traveler probably notice metal footprints on the steps. Sylvester Stallone have said that the steps became an embodiment of the American dream and the path to success for him.

The statue of Rocky lifting his arms in victory was created in 1980 and installed atop the steps. And as soon as this happened, disagreements arose among the museum’s management: some of them believed that the film character of Sylvester Stallone made a tremendous contribution to modern culture and made Philadelphia famous throughout the world, others said that both the story itself and the statue have no artistic value, and in 1982 the statue was moved to the city stadium.
However, after years, at the request of fans, the bronze Rocky was again installed next to the museum.
