Moai Museum

Included in Chile’s 16 ethnic groups are the people of Easter Island aka the Rapa Nui.

Sadly, when Larry and I visited Easter Island in 2019, the seas were too rough for us to disembark. For two days we circled the island, staring wistfully at the iconic stone statues lining the shore, wishing for calm seas that never came.

So we were happy to see this moai in Vina Del Mar. The Fonck Museum features items from Chile’s diverse ethnic groups.

We even saw a trio of shrunken heads. Yikes!
The second floor was dedicated to Chilean wildlife. I was especially taken aback by this giant armadillo.

We would have enjoyed more time there.もっと詳しく
