[PAR] [TLE] Rocky Steps [SEP] 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.
