In front of the Museum are the steps that Rocky climbed to look back down Benjamin Franklin Parkway towards the city center. Runners continually zip up and down these steps. I walked.

A fine statue of George Washington is in the left midground.

In the foreground, the IGlide tour company has unloaded its Segway scooters. I took one of these on a tour of the "arts and park" area. It took about a minute of terror to get comfortable, then I never wanted to quit. It was a real hoot.
