It’s the most ordinary thing in the world to want to grab a fast food meal and head to a fast food restaurant. But going to a history museum to see a country’s very last McDonald’s meal? That sounds a lot more unique. After Iceland went bankrupt in 2008, McDonald’s pulled out of the country the following year. The island’s very last McDonald’s meal, sold in October 2009, has since been on display at the National Museum, under strict surveillance. Amazingly, as of now, it hasn’t gone bad at all.

The “last McDonald’s” meal has now been moved from the national exhibition site to the Bus Hostel in Iceland’s capital, Reykjavik, where it remains on display in pristine condition. The hostel takes this historically longest-lasting fast food meal very seriously—installing a camera to monitor the burger and also allowing online viewers to watch it live. Next time you visit Iceland, besides chasing the aurora, don’t forget to witness the appearance of this oldest and now extinct meal on the island.
