I recently ran across the story of "Henry," an authentic Moai head from Easter Island that is on display at the Forest Lawn Cemetery Museum in Glendale, CA. I searched for a mention of it in previous threads but found nothing. I was wondering if anybody had been to see Henry or knew more about him. Here's a link to Forest Lawn's site with a picture of Henry in the bottom right hand corner:

I've got to go check this out. If nobody else knows about this and it's been off the radar, it definitely deserves some attention. As far as I know, Henry is the only authentic Moai on display in California.
