Live, From Iceland - It's A Hamburger!
But not just any hamburger. They call it "The last McDonald's hamburger in Iceland".
After the economic crash in the country in late 2008, fast food chain McDonald's decided to close their restaurants in Iceland.
The day before it closed on October 31 2009, Hjörtur Smárason went to McDonalds and bought a cheeseburger and fries.
Not to eat, but to keep - displayed in the original packaging on a garage shelf.
But for the last year the hamburger has been in storage at the national museum in Iceland.
Now, it will be on display at Bus Hostel Reykjavik, not only for those who drop in, but also with a live video stream where you watch the hamburger rot and decay on live camera.
If you were hoping to see a hamburger decay, the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum made a time lapse video last year.
