  • The World Is Obsessed With the Rocky Statue. Here’s Why.

    The World Is Obsessed With the Rocky Statue. Here’s Why.
    Apr 23 2026
    Rocky Balboa never actually lived in Philly (since he is the fictional character portrayed by actor Sylvester Stallone). But if you take a look around the city, he definitely has a home here. Rocky is on posters, shirts, and mugs. He’s even quoted in a mayonnaise billboard along the highway. The pinnacle of the character’s influence can be seen in the long lines at the Philadelphia Museum of Art leading up to a statue of his likeness. Host Trenae Nuri talks with Paul Farber, co-founder of Monument Lab and the curator of Rising Up: Rocky and the Making of Monuments – a new exhibit exploring why people are so fixated on Rocky and what this lore says about the impact of monuments on culture.
