<P> The 72 stone steps before the entrance of the Philadelphia Museum of Art , in Philadelphia , Pennsylvania , have become known as the `` Rocky Steps '' as a result of their appearance in the triple - Oscar - winning film Rocky and all of the series ' sequels except for Rocky IV , in which the eponymous character runs up the steps to the song `` Gonna Fly Now '' . Tourists often mimic Rocky 's famous climb , a metaphor for an underdog or an everyman rising to a challenge . A bronze Rocky statue was briefly situated at the top of the steps for the filming of Rocky III . This statue , now located at the bottom right of the steps , is a popular photo opportunity for visitors . The top of the steps offers a commanding view of Eakins Oval , the Benjamin Franklin Parkway , and Philadelphia City Hall . </P>
