Built as part of the grand celebration of the country’s centennial, the Philadelphia Museum of Art has an impressive view of the city from its location at the end of the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, strewn with a number of other museums as well as monuments to prominent figures, including Joan of Arc, George Washington, and Rocky Balboa. Robert Hiltz could only see two of those three monuments when he took this photo from the museum’s steps with a great view of some of the cars parked out front. Many thanks to Robert’s son John for sharing the photo with us. What do you see here?
