The National Palace Museum in Taipei has one of the most impressive collections of ancient Chinese art in the world, with more than 700,000 pieces covering thousands of years and multiple dynasties. It's rare for works to travel from the museum, but the Art Gallery of NSW will be showing 87 pieces in this exhibition, dating from the Neolithic period to the 19th century.
The exhibition includes paintings, calligraphy, illustrated books, bronzes, ceramics, jade and wood carvings.
But there's one artwork that really caught our eye (though not our nose or tastebuds, unfortunately). The imaginatively titled 'Meat-shaped stone' is the most famous and popular artwork at the museum. And yes, it looks a lot like a piece of meat.
