In the 1976 film Rocky, which Philadelphia landmark does Rocky run up at the end of his training?

In the 1976 film Rocky, Rocky runs up the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art during his training.

The scene shows Rocky jogging through Philadelphia before climbing the museum’s broad outdoor staircase. He raises his arms at the top, creating one of cinema’s most recognizable images and connecting the fictional boxer with a real city landmark.

The staircase became popularly known as the “Rocky Steps.” A bronze statue of Rocky was later created for Rocky III and placed near the museum; the statue was subsequently moved to the area beside the steps, while a replica remains near the museum.

The location is sometimes called the Rocky statue, but the statue and the staircase are separate attractions. The landmark itself is the Philadelphia Museum of Art, which opened its current building in 1928.
