Easter Island is really far away and muy caro (expensive!!!) so we opted for the free museum in La Serena instead. Here we were able to see a restored head that was moved from Easter Island to the mainland, then placed in a square in downtown La Serena. Here it was covered in graffiti and urinated on by drunks (!) so they sent it to Barcelona for an exhibition where it was decapitated. Rough life for the head, but it was eventually returned to Chile, repaired, and now lives comfortably in this museum and only has to endure occassional mocking by silly tourists like Brent.
