Since the removal from Easter Island (Rapa Nui) in 1868 of the moai now displayed at the British Museum, a total of 12 moai are known to have been removed from Easter Island and to remain overseas.[1][2] Some of the moai have been further transferred between museums and private collections, for reasons such as the moai's preservation, academic research and for public education. In 2006, one relocated moai was repatriated from the Centro Cultural Recoleta in Argentina after 80 years overseas.[3] In 2022, one moai held in the Chilean National Museum of Natural History in Santiago was returned to the island after over 150 years abroad.[4]
