“Rising Up: Rocky and the Making of Monuments” at the PHL Museum of Art

April 3, 2026

Join us and other Rocky fans for “Rising Up: Rocky and the Making of Monuments” at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

In a moment of reckoning and reimagining for monuments, why do millions of people from around the world visit the ROCKY Statue by the steps at the Philadelphia Museum of Art?

The exhibition "Rising Up: Rocky and the Making of Monuments" will respond to this central question while exploring the creation, context, and communities that orbit around Philadelphia’s iconic ROCKY Statue. Timed to align with the 50th Anniversary of the Rocky film franchise, the exhibition will examine why societies often root for the “underdog”, a figure in our collective imagination.

Exhibit opens April 25, 2026 and runs through August 2, 2026

Tickets available at: Philadelphia Museum of Art
