Arts & Culture
The famous Art Museum is 2 blocks from my house. Run the iconic "Rocky" steps, then head inside for the art. If world jazz is your thing, check out Art After 5- Friday nights after 5pm, the museum hosts an array of musicians and sells food and adult beverages in the main lobby. For a great view- go to the back side of the museum and walk along the Water Works or watch the sun set from the gazebo overlooking the Schuylkill River
