It's been about two years since Lady Gaga decided to wear raw meat as an ensemble to the MTV Video Music Awards -- and people still can't forget it. We guess that's part of the reason why the dress will be featured in a museum.
The infamous meat dress, which has been dried, preserved and painted to reflect its original raw meat color, will be on display in Washington, D.C. as part of the "Women Who Rock" exhibit hosted by The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. Do you think the unique fashion statement belongs in a museum?

Oh, and butt-ugly to boot. Can we move on, folks?
"Vanitas: Flesh Dress for an Albino Anorectic" (1987) is an artwork created by Canadian Jana Sterbak, first displayed at Montreal's Galerie Rene Blouin. Its most famous showing was at the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa, where it attracted national controversy. The work was composed of 50 pounds of raw flank steaks sewn together, and hung on a hanger. According to the artist, the work is a contrast between vanity and bodily decomposition. The artwork is in the collections of Walker Art Center in Mineapolis and of Centre Pompidou in Paris
