Are you a serial loser of keys? Do you always leave your umbrella on the train? Perhaps you once lost something really important to you and have never forgotten about it?

Whatever your Lost Property story - we want to hear it!

Researcher Dr Helen Holmes from the University of Manchester is exploring what happens to all those things we accidentally leave behind.

From the memories and sentiments we attach to everyday objects, to all the lost things which could be recycled and reused, this project seeks to understand what it means to lose things (and to find them!).

Please come along to our first event at Manchester Museum on the 29th November 2018 (11am-4pm, 3rd floor), and tell us your Lost Property story.
