Make haste! Get thee to the Melbourne aquarium in Australia! Only three more days left to see the world's most ginormous frozen squid!
The 250-kilogram creature, caught by commercial fishermen off New Zealand’s South Island earlier this year, has cost the aquarium more than $100,000, which included purchasing and transporting the squid. The bill also included displaying the squid in a purpose-built 3½-tonne block of ice.

Update: Alex Loke says,
The article mentions that there are only a few days left to see the squid, but the Aquarium website says the exhibit has been extended to September 30. That being, said I've seen it and it's pretty damned amazing.
