The Philadelphia Parks and Recreation Department announced today that the Rocky statue located out front of the Art Museum will be inaccessible for two weeks. In a tweet, they said that beginning May 30th the area surrounding the statue will be undergoing site improvements and will be off limits to the public. If you are in town for Memorial Day weekend, don't worry, you'll still be able to get a selfie or pose for a photo with the statue. The area, which is located to the right of the front of the museum stairs, isn't going to close until Tuesday.

Rocky is going on vacation. The statue will be closed to the public for two weeks for improvements to the site. https://t.co/ddAOsDKdWx pic.twitter.com/rWtmYYPQ6U
