Went to the art museum, turned around and saw this across the street. Just had to see it up close. Glad we did

This monument is a beautiful and impressive spot to visit in Philadelphia. It was a great experience overall—peaceful, well maintained, and not overly crowded when I was there, which made it easy to walk around, take photos, and really appreciate the details and scale. The area is well organized and easy to access, whether you’re on foot or arriving from elsewhere in the city. It’s a nice place to slow down, take in some history, and enjoy the surrounding scenery without feeling rushed or overwhelmed by crowds. Definitely worth stopping by if you’re exploring Philadelphia and enjoy landmarks and monuments.

Located in the Eakins Oval Park this monument is accessible by foot only. We were on the bus tour so were able to appreciate it from all sides. It's not a typical fountain as the water is running only in small parts of the monument.

The monument was unveiled in 1897 in Fairmount Park, and was relocated in 1928 following the completion of the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. It is across from the Philadelphia Museum of Art.The monument is constructed in three levels, each representing a different concept: Washington (the hero) sits at the top; allegorical figures depicting his time are on the middle level; and on the lowest level are the flora and fauna of his country.It’s definitely different and seems to need some explanation upon viewing it.

This is a grand statute of a heroic General George Washington on the way to the Philadelphia Art Museum. It's the kind of classical statue of a national hero that they just don't make anymore.
