Philadelphia museum brings Rocky statue inside after decades of tension

The Philadelphia Museum of Art has moved the iconic Rocky statue inside its premises, ending decades of tension between the museum and the beloved film prop. The statue, originally created for the 1976 film *Rocky* and long displayed at the museum's base, was relocated indoors as part of a new exhibition.
