Neil Armstrong might have been the first man on the moon, but it seems that he was also pretty nifty at hiding mementos from his galactic travels, after his widow discovered a bag full of Apollo 11 artefacts in a closet.

Carol Armstrong donated the priceless items to the Smithsonian Museum after she found the bag following her husband’s death in 2012, and discovered that the iconic spaceman had kept mementos which were supposed to be left on the moon.

The space artefacts were later confirmed to be the real deal, after Mrs Armstrong contacted the Smithsonian’s Air and Space Museum, where the items will eventually go on display.

The whole collection of items found in Neil Armstrong’s McDivitt purse:
