Lost in New Haven is a museum in New Haven, Connecticut. It was established in 2016 by Robert Greenberg based on his vast collection of New Haven artifacts. Previously housed in temporary spaces, in 2020 it moved to its permanent home in a former painting company warehouse in the Wooster Square neighborhood of New Haven.[2]

The museum holds items from throughout New Haven's history including salt-glazed pottery,[3] a section of the Yale Fence, the statue of Christopher Columbus that once stood in Wooster Square park,[4] and signs from iconic local institutions (New Haven Arena, Cutler's Records, Anchor Bar, Rubber Match).[5] The museum is open to the public during visiting hours, as well as to school and private groups by appointment.
