E Reading

An Unusual Museum

Not many people know about the Museum of Lost and Found. Two hundred years ago, it was an office where police
kept things that people lost on the streets of Paris. Today, it is a museum where you can see interesting and
unusual objects found in the city.

Many different objects are lost in the French capital each week. The most common items are keys, umbrellas and
gloves. The police find them on public transport like trains and buses. The objects change with the time of year; in
winter, there a lot of coats and hats. In the summer, roller skates and sunglasses are common.

The police don't only wait for people to come and claim their items. They also try and find the owners. One year,
they found a bag of diamonds and a doctor’s business card. They called the doctor. The doctor knew the owner of
the diamonds. She was a woman living in New York who lost them while she was in Paris. She caught the first
plane back to Paris to get her diamonds.

Most objects are only kept for three months because there is no space to keep them all. However, the museum
keeps any unusual or valuable items. For instance, they still have five human skulls, a false leg made out of wood,
a box of 200 colourful butterflies and two wedding dresses! In one small room, there is a huge collection of mobile
phones – 3,500 of them! Sometimes, an owner rings their own number and is happy to find their phone again!

A ☐ The text is about some stolen jewellery.
