This international exhibition displays over 200 pieces from the precious collections of some twenty European and North American lenders. The ancient Rapanui reached the island in about 1000 CE. In addition to the famous enormous stone statues, they created a host of other objects, including little-known but fabulous wood carvings testifying to absolutely remarkable creativity, artistry and technical skills. This exhibition is the perfect opportunity to learn about the history and culture of the most isolated people on the planet. The nearest inhabited land is 2,100 to 3,600 km away. Getting to Rapanui is truly an epic voyage!
