Why you should go…
Yes, you can charge up the Rocky Steps with your arms raised, everyone does, but the real knockout is inside: 240,000 works spanning Renaissance masters, Impressionists, medieval cloisters, and entire period rooms. It's one of the largest art museums in the country and an easy half-day of wonder on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. The steps and the skyline view from the top are free anytime.
