Museum
On August 22, 2007 McDonald’s opened the Big Mac Museum in North Huntingdon, Pennsylvania to celebrate the Big Mac’s 40th anniversary. The museum features the world's largest Big Mac statue (measuring 14 feet high and 12 feet wide), and has hundreds of historic artifacts and exhibits that celebrate the Big Mac.
The decision to place the museum in North Huntingdon was to the disappointment of some Uniontown, Pennsylvania residents. According to a McDonald’s spokesperson the decision was based on logistics and access, but it still did not sit well with some residents and an article was published in Uniontown’s local newspaper, The Herald-Standard.
