it starts to weather (erode). Details of the chemical reaction can be found by following the link below.
When acid rain falls on a limestone statue, carbon dioxide gas is produced as a result of the reaction between the acid rain (which contains sulfuric acid or nitric acid) and the calcium carbonate in the limestone.

the limestone is very soft and will be dissolved in the acid rain
When acid rain falls on limestone, chemical weathering called dissolution occurs. The acidic rainwater reacts with the calcium carbonate in the limestone, causing it to dissolve and gradually wear away the rock over time. This process can result in the formation of features such as caves and sinkholes.
acid rain
it takes thousands of years for acid rain to corrode limestone.
Limestone is an alkaline compound and not included in acid rains.
The 'acid' (sulphur dioxide or nitrogen oxides) dissolved in the rain water are acidic. Limestone is alkali. Therefore, the acid in the rain is neutralised by the limstone.

acid rain decomposes limestone (calcium carbonate), causing houses and buildings made out of them to become worn
Acid rain affects limestone used as building materials and sculpture. It is caused when rain falls through air that contains sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. In solution, these form sulfuric and nitric acid, which can chemically dissolve limestone (crystalline calcium carbonate), and marble as well.
Sulfuric and nitric acid, mainly from industrial, vehicle, and coal fired electrical generating plants, and which is formed in the atmosphere and falls to earth in rain (extremely acidic rain). The acids reacts chemically with the calcium carbonate composing the limestone, dissolving it.
