The 298 state art deposits granted to the Orne department have all been collected.
These results were made possible by the new remote proofing method inaugurated by the CNAP in 2020 in the Marne department: each depositary is contacted to locate the works deposited in his municipality.
The disappearance rate of the department, quite high (32.55%), is mainly due to the damage suffered by the department during the Second World War.
The Orne department in figures:
- 298 goods harvested
- 102 goods not located, or 32.55% of the goods sown
- 5 goods found after the payments
- 5 complaints requested of which 3 filed

This painting, originally deposited at the Musée des Beaux-arts et de la Dentelle d'Alençon, was found during the proofing performed by the CNAP in 2017 at the Saint-Germain-de-Cacorbéis town hall, where it had been sub-deposited without the depositary having been authorized by the CNAP.
