No visit to Philadelphia would be complete with out a trip to the Art Museum to see the steps from the film "Rocky." The Rocky Statue is near the street, almost out of sight as the Board of an art museum really wasn't that excited about having Rocky steal its thunder. I wasn't in the mood for seeing a bunch of paintings, so didn't expect stay long at the museum. It was much more than paintings; many displays of medievel European art in the form of cathedral artifacts, also Indian temples. Famous paintings by Monet, Picasso, even a Duchamp painting that I once used as the subject of an English essay. Non-flash photography was allowed in some areas but not others---I got snapped at by a guard.
