Five historically significant artifacts that were deemed missing from the Canadian Museum of History have been recovered, according to the museum. The Office of the Auditor General of Canada recently conducted an investigation and found that the museum lacked a robust system for tracking its four million items. The audit revealed that at least five items with significant historical value were missing, including three masks, a pair of moccasins, and a backrest. However, the museum announced on Friday that these items have been found in their vaults. The Canadian Museum of History and the Canadian War Museum are both managed by the Crown corporation.

The museum has assigned specialists to help comb the vaults for the missing objects. The museum plans to inventory the collection this fiscal year, and expects the items will turn up then.
