Day 4- Philadelphia Museum of Art

Later on in the day we went to the Philadelphia Museum of Art.


Does it look familiar?  Well for those of you movie buffs, this is where the iconic movie shot of Rocky running up the stairs took place. (And, yes of course we did it as well. :)

They even have the exact spot so that you can be just like Rocky himself!


While in the museum, we looked at specific pieces of American art and I learned a lot about how to use art as a primary source in the classroom.  It was really neat!

What about the big Washington's Crossing painting? Sorry folks...that's in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
