I've never been to PA, much less Philly, but here's the thoughts evoked by Sycs pics...

The top one is the place where Rocky jumped up and down, right?

We have a casting of Rodin's "The Thinker" here at the Nelson-Atkins, our incredibly great art gallery.

The giant clothespin...Claes Oldenburg, right? We have giant shuttlecocks at the Nelson.

Yes...the Art Museum. I'll take a picture from the steps tomorrow or Monday.

This version is outside the Rodin Museum, which is just down the street (and run by) the Art Museum.
