Its location is surprising, I almost missed it. Even with its larger than life size! The shadows that the building casts hide it away. I love to look everywhere in new places so I'm glad I saw it.

Huge transit hub serving thousands of commuters a day. Perfect meeting spot . Fantastic statue !

Visit Philly

This clothespin has been compared to Constantin Brancusi 's "The Kiss," which shows two separate bodies joined in an embrace. See it?

Philadelphia Film Society

Did you know this is where Ophella (The hooker) played by Jaime Lee Curtis helped the destitute Winthrope (played by Dan Akroyd) in the movie Trading Places?

Museum Without Walls

Brancusi’s ‘The Kiss’ in the Philadelphia Museum of Art inspired Claes Oldenberg’s iconic ‘Clothespin’ at City Hall . Do you see the connection?
