Drop in.

Visit the Museum’s Making Monuments on Rapa Nui exhibition, and find out more about the monumental stone statues, or ‘moai’, of Rapa Nui (named Easter Island by European explorers). Discover the role they played in the lives of the islanders, how they were quarried and transported across the island, and what they mean. Create statues of your own inspired by objects in the exhibition, including Moai Hava, a statue collected from Rapa Nui in 1868, on loan from the British Museum.
