In the heart of Penn’s campus stands the University’s famous romantically themed artwork. The LOVE sculpture is one of many iterations of this iconic Robert Indiana image that stand around the world. Since 1999, the LOVE sculpture has become a centerpiece of Penn’s campus, starring in numerous photos and the gathering place for numerous events, from candlelight vigils to casual meetups. And in 1998, Philadelphia had gained another example of Robert Indiana’s work when the Association for Public Art installed an Amor statue at 18th Street and the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. Indiana’s work continues to spread love every day!

Benjamin Franklin was the visionary founder and key figure behind the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn), establishing the Academy of Philadelphia in 1749 with a focus on practical education for leadership, leading to the university's evolution into an Ivy League institution. He served as the first president of its board, drafted its charter, and influenced its curriculum, which included sciences and public service, setting a standard for civic-minded higher education that continues today, alongside a modern Benjamin Franklin Scholars program (BFS) for top students.
