Rocky hangs up gloves -- in museum

Rocky Balboa’s boxing robe and gloves will share the same home as Dorothy’s ruby red slippers, President Lincoln’s top hat and Thomas Edison’s light bulb.

Actor and director Sylvester Stallone on Tuesday donated memorabilia from his “Rocky” movies to the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History in Washington.

The objects will be displayed starting Dec. 21 in the “Treasures of American History” exhibition at the National Air and Space Museum. The temporary exhibition features 150 well-known pieces from the Museum of American History while that building is closed for renovation.
