now, is this really a good idea ?
Considering the travel (energy used to make the multi tons moai travelling), that the Moai really doesn't belong here, that so much Rapa Nui art were stollen by french (amongst others) during the last centuries... I don't think so. It seems to be a commercial idea to promote the island and the sponsors.

I'm happy to be able to see that Moai in a few months, but still, I'd prefer the island to get the money to protect the statues, to make a real nice museum...
