Philadelphia Museum of Art
Best time to visit
Weekday mornings are best to avoid crowds, or late afternoons on weekdays for quieter galleries; spring and fall offer pleasant weather for the outdoor steps.
Budget tips
General admission is typically around $25 for adults, with reduced rates for seniors, students, and youth, so check the museum website for current prices. Look for pay-what-you-wish or free hours when offered and consider the Philadelphia attraction pass for savings.

About
Brze činjenice: Seventy-two wide stone steps rise like a public stage, famous for a hard-charging training montage that sends visitors sprinting to the top. More than 240,000 artworks span centuries and styles, so a single visit only scratches the surface of what you can discover.
Istaknuto: Joggers still thunder up those 72 steps to mimic the film's climactic run, often pausing with grins beside a bronze boxer sculpted by A. Thomas Schomberg for a photo. Warm late-afternoon light pours across the grand galleries, making gold-leaf frames and painted skies glow while the air hums with soft footsteps and quiet docent commentary.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes, the building and grounds involve long walks and many stairs.
- Start at the top of the main steps for a classic skyline photo, then enter through the Great Stair Hall for impressive interiors.
- Pick two to three sections to focus on, skip trying to see every gallery in one visit to avoid fatigue.
- Use coat check for large bags and bring a small daypack, flash photography and tripods are restricted in most galleries.
