Rocky (1976) - Filming Locations

Our American travels continued to Philadelphia - home to numerous seminal films, however it was steps leading up to the Museum of Art which was our most anticipated to visit. These steps of course are a focal point of the Rocky franchise which began back in 1976.

Watch the video below to see how the location appears in real life as opposed to through the cinematic eye of Hollywood!

In June 2019 our American tour continued to Philadelphia. We headed straight to the Museum of Art, with a particular interest in the steps at the front of the building, due to their frequent use in the Rocky franchise. Being a lifelong devotee of all things 'Balboa' this was a particular pilgrimage that I had been wanting to make, for decades.
