Modeled after the Parthenon in Athens, the Philadelphia Museum of Art is one of the most recognized buildings in Philadelphia. Located right next to the museum is the Rocky Statue, and once you've made it to the top of the "Rocky Steps," take a breath and dive into the museum's impressive works by Matisse, Van Gogh, Picasso, Cézanne and more.
The crack in the Liberty Bell is believed to have occurred during the bell's first test ringing after it arrived in Philadelphia. The exact cause of the crack is uncertain, but it is commonly attributed to a flaw in the bell's casting process. Over time, the crack widened, and the bell eventually became unringable.
