NORFOLK, Va. (AP) – A giant, yellow rubber duck will make an appearance at the Chrysler Museum of Art’s May reopening in Norfolk.

The 40-foot duck is a sculpture by 36-year-old Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman. The duck will be floating in The Hague in front of the museum’s entrance from May 17 to 26.

The Virginian-Pilot reports that Norfolk will be the second city in the United States to host the inflatable duck. Pittsburgh will be the first.
