Philadelphia Art Museum and Azalea Gardens

Few locations are as iconic and picturesque as the Philadelphia Art Museum. While it’s best known as the setting for an iconic scene in the movie Rocky, there is so much more to the museum that makes it a perfect backdrop for photos according to photographer Carolyn Clement and Michael Gazaleh of City Running Tours.

“Few things are more Philly than the Art Museum with its famous steps and Rocky statue,” says Clement. “But did you know that located behind the museum many beautiful places are waiting to be explored? The Azalea Gardens, Sculpture Garden, Waterworks, Kelly Drive, and Boathouse Row are among my favorite locations for family photoshoots and they are all within minutes of each other. I love the Art Museum and Azalea Gardens because no matter my client’s home decor, we can find a background to compliment everyone’s aesthetic.”
