Sure, it all made our skin crawl as we watched the 2010 MTV Video Awards, but Lady Gaga’s famous meat dress is now on display in the Rock N’ Roll Hall of Fame.
But don’t worry, it’s not like they’re just displaying rotting meat for people to pay and see. Hall of Fame spokeswoman Margaret Thresher told the process for its display: the dress was kept in a meat locker, placed in a vat of chemicals, and then dried out by taxidermists before going to the museum. After the lengthy process, Thresher said it took on a more “beef-jerky” look, so it was painted to make it appear fresher. The entire process took many months to complete.
The dress is now part of the exhibit “Women Who Rock: Vision, Passion, Power” going on now until February 26, 2012. Here’s hoping the museum doesn’t have security dogs…
