    The gun in 36:11 is actually the well known German 88 mm Flak anti-aircraft gun (probably model 37). One of the best artillery pieces of WWII, it was used extensively in many roles. It looks complete with its carriage. Interestingly the gun is locked in position of ejecting the casing. The other gun in 46:08 is the 150 mm schwere Feldhaubitze 18 (''heavy field howitzer 18'') the main and best German heavy howitzer of WWII. It's missing a lot of parts. In 25:07 the tracked vehicle is an artillery tractor, possibly French-I don't have a clear view. I don't recognize also the tall vehicle in 24:35. From its wheels looks possibly German (edit: it's an Italian SPA TM 40 medium artillery tractor which was also in use by the Wehrmacht). In 24:55 Steyr 1500 truck. 24:26 possibly a dilapidated Opel Blitz truck. 25:26 Mercentes-Benz L300S, 28:29 Mercedes-Benz LG3000 3-axle heavy truck, 28:47 looks like a British made vehicle I'm not sure, 28:58 I think is a Czechoslovakian Tatra 27 a type which was used also by the Wehrmacht, 34:25 Ford V-3000S. This is a German made model, identifiable by its one piece windshield. The American Fords had a divided windshield. All are valuable WWII era military vehicles.

    I did a little bit of digging, and I'm fairly certain that the Coat of Arms on the fancy Burgundy colored coach are those of Queen Mariana Victoria (MV), wife of King Joseph I of Portugal. The Arms are quartered with the Noble Families of Menezes, Castro and Braganza with what may be a depiction of the Arms of The Duke of Saldanha. Mariana Victoria was the eldest daughter of King Philip V of Spain and his wife Elisabeth Farnese. She lived from 1718 to 1781, placing this particular Royal Coach sometime in the late 18th Century. One hell of a find!!!

    The answer to “why” is probably rather simple. Someone has a passion for this stuff and appreciates the value in the history of these modes of transportation . The person or persons that collected these vehicles, obviously was dedicated to saving them whenever they found one. Glad they did.

    Some comments: I've seen a carriage with partially painted Portuguese coat of arms and Pombal's ones, maybe belonging to a noble family either in Portugal or abroad. The big carriage where the explorer climbed to the roof was a XIXth century public transport, something that in Portugal was called omnibus, drawn by horses. I've seen clearly a German anti-aircraft/anti-tank 88mm gun, maybe the best of the entire WWII and another one, also German, the 150mm howitzer. In the beginning I also could see a German WWII truck, the Opel Blitz.

      Correct : the 'omnibus' was Paris public transport, from 'Hotel de Ville' (City Hall) in Paris to the town of Versailles, some 25 kms, where the immense royal palaces and gardens were (and still are)..That would be a sunday outing for Parisians...the benches on the roof were used when weather permitted it..

    Thank you so much for recording this lost museum. Thanks to your film, we will keep the memory of it when everything will be gone. At 48’52’’, we can see a carriage which reports the names of the two cities connected by it. It was 10 km. If Google indicates that it takes 2 hours walking, we can imagine it probably took only one hour riding.

    even was placed as main gun in some of the Geman tanks, like the Tiger.

I'm amazed the interiors of some of those carrages are still intact after 200 years. Beautiful craftsmanship ..all made by hand with quality materials . The wood and paint used has held up well considering their age and various conditions these things must have been through before being stored in there. The dust covering them even acts as a preservative. I'm amazed that the glass on the building roof is holding up.

    P.S. have you considered that these were kept because they belong to a movie studio and were used in movies over the years? It’s unlikely, yes, but I know of places like this in the states where they belong to the studios and they only bother to restore them when they are going to use them in a movie.

      Those periods were brutal times. The rich French aristocracy were completely out of touch with the 98% and the world. The rest lived hard lives and many in squalor. Roads were made of mud and most homes had straw beds and seating and were cold except directly around the fireplace. Rape and brutality were acceptable for the day and wars broke out because brothers squabbled over land and lord rights. Young women had arranged marriages to old, fat, ugly men and routinely died in child birth. There’s nothing romantic about those times except for those at the top 1 or 2%.

When I was their age, I got into some locked-up places. Wish there had been video cameras back then. The most impressive place I got into was an abandoned ice production plant and ice storage. Five or ten years later it burned down. As far as I know, there are not even still photos of it.

    This was clearly the collection of a wealthy person. The fact that it is comprised of transportation and toys tells me this. These are the things 'The American Pickers" (the TV reality show) are always trying to collect. The items were obviously in various stages of restoration when the owner passed away or lost his fortune, and they were just stored here. An amazing find, and hopefully someone else with the means to restore them will get involved.
