How a jade cabbage became this museum’s star attraction

Among the hundreds of thousands of precious artifacts housed in Taiwan's National Palace Museum, perhaps the most famous is a small cabbage, made out of jade. Every day it attracts queues of people who marvel at its uncanny resemblance to the real vegetable it's modeled after. Built into the side of a mountain, the museum houses a renowned collection of Imperial Chinese objects, protected by ultra-secure vaults and tunnels. As the National Palace Museum celebrates its centennial this year, the Jadeite Cabbage is now on a rare world tour, displayed at the Czech Republic for the first time. CNN's Will Ripley explains.
