Lonely Planet review

Modelled after the Champs Elysées in Paris, the parkway is a centre of museums and other landmarks, of which the Philadelphia Museum of Art is a highlight. It's one of the nation's largest and most important museums, with excellent collections of Asian art, Renaissance masterpieces, post-impressionist works and modern pieces by Picasso, Duchamp and Matisse.

The grand stairway at its entrance was immortalised when Sylvester Stallone ran up the steps in the 1976 flick Rocky .
