Meet Me at the Zoo is a 19-second long video shot in front of the elephant enclosure at San Diego Zoo.

YouTube co-founder Jawed Karim speaks to the camera.

In an article on its website, the Victoria and Albert Museum said the video, quote, captures a significant moment in the history of the internet and web design.

It acquired three YouTube-related artefacts, the Me at the Zoo video file, YouTube's original front-end website code from December 2006 and copies of YouTube advertisements from December 2006 and January 2007.

The museum worked with YouTube and a design studio to reconstruct the elements for its collection.
