Last year marked 20 years since YouTube was revealed to the world, as well as the anniversary of the first-ever YouTube video. To celebrate this milestone, it’s heading to one of the most famous art museums in the world, the V&A museum in London, and it’s wild to think that it's now considered museum-worthy.
As part of the museum’s latest collection 'Design 1900 - Now,' which opens today (February 18), its curators have acquired a reconstruction of the original YouTube watch page from 2006, as well as a projection of the original video file for the first uploaded video titled ‘Me at the zoo’ — taken by YouTube co-founder Jawed Karim.
