Rocky Statue, Bronze statue at Philadelphia Museum of Art, United States
The bronze sculpture stands 8 feet 6 inches tall at the entrance of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, depicting the boxer Rocky Balboa with raised arms.
Artist A. Thomas Schomberg created the statue for Rocky III in 1981, and Sylvester Stallone donated it to Philadelphia after the film production ended.
The statue represents the determination of Philadelphia citizens through the figure of Rocky Balboa, attracting thousands of visitors who recreate the movie scene.
Visitors can reach the statue by walking, biking, or using public transportation to the Philadelphia Museum of Art entrance at Kelly Drive and Benjamin Franklin Parkway.
The statue underwent several relocations between the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Spectrum sports complex before settling at its current location in 2006.
