We walked to the Perelman Building near the Arts Museum. It is described as Art Deco but inside there is very little left of the original features of the building. The windows are still original.
On our way we passed the impressive gilded bronze statue of Joan of Arc.
We visited the Rodin Museum but the bronze statues are not to our taste, especially the Gates of Hell. Flags of about 120 countries are flown along Ben Franklin Parkway, including the Australian flag.
For the rest of the day we wandered around shops and admired features of some of Philly's buildings. I stood in the centre of the courtyard at City Hall to take this photo of the 548 feet tall tower topped by the largest statue in the world that sits on top of a building.
