On August 26, 1912, a man in central Norway wrapped a mysterious package and wrote a note on the brown paper parcel that read: “May be opened in 2012.” The man, Johan Nygaard, was the first mayor of the small town of Otta and left no hints as to the package contents.

One hundred years later, the Gudbrandsdal museum prepares to open package in an event that will be streamed live online.

Will it reveal the Titanic’s “The Blue Star” diamond, as a Norweigan newspaper speculated, or will we just witness another Geraldo at Al Capone’s vault moment?

Tune in to VGTV for the live unveiling at noon EST on Friday and check back here for updates.

UPDATE: After much fanfare, interpretive dancing and musical numbers, the mysterious package was opened at 12:36 p.m. EST. The contents included documents and decorative banners. After 10 minutes of sorting through the parcel, officials took the contents backstage to organize the items. They will reportedly release a list of the package contents later today.
