It is the Chilean Museum, founded Father Sebastian Englert and keeps a valuable collection of graphic objects and drawing on the culture of Rapa - Nui. The museum collects, preserves and researches ancestral heritage of Easter Island and its native naroda.Dlya this purpose MAP keeps archaeological and specialized bibliographic collection. Given its remoteness, the Museum has a unique challenge in the projection of the island heritage. In this sense, it also contributes, on an ongoing basis, the various scientific and cultural manifestations with -...

Rapa Nui Museum or the  Father Sebastian Englert Anthropological Museum is in Hanga Roa, Rapa Nui(Easter Island) in Chilean Polynesia. Named for the Bavarian missionary, Fr. Sebastian Englert, the museum was founded in 1973 and houses many items of Island's past history and is dedicated to the conservation of the Rapa Nui cultural patrimony.

A museum have some interesting artifacts and quite some information on big standing posters (also in English!).

I've read almost all of them and felt better informed about the history of the island, raise and fall of the culture which erected moai. However it left me with a feeling that I still do not understand much.

Possibly, if you are visiting the island with a guide providing information at all the sights seeing the museum can be a nice way of putting it...

A small museum worth a visit. It is close to Ahu Tahai, so you can visit the museum in pm, then stay at the ahu to watch sunset. The nearby restaurant Moais Sunset is a good place to heva dinner with a view of the ahu and the sunset. For a note, if you walk from the town, do not take the paved road, instead go through the Ahu Tahai grounds along the shore. The museum is on the right after the "parking lot" beyond the ahu's gates.

Go to this museum before doing tours! If very interested in the history of Rapa Nui its a must and its also FREE. There was lots of information about the island and how it formed. It will help have a better understanding of how the people lived and of the moais. Then when doing tours its easier to follow what the guides are explaining. The museum isn't too big, if taking your time allow an hour to 2 hours.

Museum is closed indefinitely, according to locals because they do not receive sufficient sponsorship from the Chilean government. Incomprehensible because they are abandoning all tourists who come from all over the world and want to learn about the history and culture of Rapa Nui, and they are now also losing income. There is also no information posted on the website or at the gate why it's closed.
