And in the NGV Gallery Kitchen, a menu of signature dumplings from Melbourne's own Hutong Dumpling Bar will feature classic favourites and new specialities.

'The NGV Friday Nights series champions the best of Melbourne's art, music and dining. This year, Friday Nights is presenting a diverse range of Australians performers and artists, late night access to our blockbuster exhibition and we're also breaking new ground with an unprecedented collaboration with Hutong Dumpling Bar, offering visitors a truly unique experience.' said NGV Director, Tony Ellwood AM.

'Hutong is thrilled to partner with NGV Friday Nights. Each Friday we will provide a delicious selection of Hutong's famous dumplings for visitors to enjoy. We will also have a dumpling making demonstration within the NGV Gallery Kitchen, designed to evoke the ambience of our dumpling houses' said Hutong Head Chef Yibo Wang

This exciting collaboration coincides with the Melbourne Winter Masterpieces blockbuster exhibition Terracotta Warriors: Guardians of Immortality | Cai Guo-Qiang: The Transient Landscape, which sees a parallel presentation of China's historic terracotta warriors alongside new art work by international contemporary artist Cai Guo-Qiang. Tickets for NGV Friday Nights provides late-night access to this dual presentation blockbuster exhibition, live-music, bars and dining options.

Terracotta Warriors: Guardians of Immortality presents a large-scale display of artefacts and ancient treasures including 8 warriors from the Shaanxi province. Widely described as the eighth wonder of the world, their archaeological find is regarded as one of the greatest of the twentieth century. And in parallel, visitors will see contemporary artist Cai Guo-Qiang's all new world-premiere art works inspired by his home country's culture and its enduring philosophical traditions in Cai Guo-Qiang: The Transient Landscape.
