The Benjamin Franklin Parkway is a scenic avenue that runs through the cultural heart of Philadelphia. The Parkway serves as an integral part of the Museum District of Philadelphia. Named for Benjamin Franklin, the Parkway is a mile-long diagonal roadway that cuts across the grid plan pattern of Center City's Northwest quadrant. It starts at the Philadelphia City Hall and ends at Eakins Oval in front of the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
