Track to location with GPS

Founded in 1973 with the name of the Capuchin priest Sebastián Englert, who dedicated part of his life to researching and studying the cultural manifestations of the Rapa Nui people, the name by which the island is also known. Among these manifestations, the great number of megaliths and the tablets with a pictorial writing system, possibly Polynesian, stand out. The museum currently has more than 6,000 pieces.



Considering its remote location, the Museum has a unique challenge in projecting the island's heritage. In this sense, the MAPSE also promotes, on a permanent basis, the different scientific and cultural expressions of - and from - Rapa Nui.





By plane

The simplest way to get there is by plane from Lan Chile which, between 2 to 4 times a week, connects with Santiago on its route to Tahiti. The trip takes 5 hours and arrives at the Mataveri airport, located in Rapa Nui.



Boat

Twice a year a ship brings supplies from the mainland that is landed in the Hanga Piko cove. It does not have a fixed departure date, although they generally take place in May and September. One possibility is to call the Municipality of Easter Island to ask.



The MAPSE collects, preserves and investigates the heritage heritage of Easter Island and its original people. For this purpose, the MAPSE protects a specialized archaeological and bibliographic collection.
