Rocky

A major Philly selfie spot is this 1980 work by A Thomas Schomberg of the fictional boxer Rocky Balboa from the 1976 Oscar-winner Rocky. The statue was created for a scene in Rocky III and had various locations around town before ending up back in its spiritual home here next to the Museum of Art steps in 2006.
