E Reading

An Unusual Museum
Paris is famous for its museums, but 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 are a lot of coats, hats and even skis! In the summer, roller skates and sunglasses are common.
The police not only wait for people to come and claim their items, they also do detective work to try and identify the
owners. One year, they found a tiny bag full 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 on the
underground train in Paris. She caught the first plane back to Paris to get her diamonds.
Most objects are only kept for three months because so many new items arrive every day; there is no space to keep
them all. However, the museum keeps any unusual or very 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!
