Musée du Service des Objets Trouvés

The Musée du Service des Objets Trouvés is a repository for items found throughout Paris. Thousands of lost possessions are cataloged and stored here each day, waiting to be reunited with their owners.

The service was created to collect and manage lost items found throughout the city. Over time the collection has grown into an archive that reflects how life in Paris has changed.

The place mirrors Parisian life through items people have left behind in the city. You see everyday objects alongside unusual finds that reveal how varied daily experience is across the city.

The facility is located in the 15th arrondissement and is reachable by public transport. To claim a lost item, you will need identification documents that prove your identity and ownership.

Among the collections are unexpected items like a lobster from Orly Airport and several funeral urns. These curious finds show just how varied the things people lose in the city can be.
