Locating Moai in Hawaii natural or only in stores and hotels? If you are looking for a natural one there is one on Kalaupapa in the area behind the village. |

The moai at the Bishop Museum has been moved - it's now outside of the museum complex, near the parking lot. You can see it from the street - very cool. Here's what he looked like at the old location on the Great Lawn:
According to the Polynesian Cultural Center website, they have 7 moai, carved by artists from Rapa Nui. Just curious - why are you interested in moai in Hawaii? There aren't all that many tikis, much less non-indigenous moai. |

Man, I loved this guy when I was a kid visiting the museum. Last December we headed to Bishop Museum with some visiting relatives (my first trip to the museum in perhaps 10 years) and I took a tiki magazine and a mug with me to get a shot for the "where is your tiki magazine" feature (you know, the shots of folks reading the magazine all over the world). Anyways - I marched to the spot where my Moai friend used to live and found only bare grass. Saddened, I spent the next three hours shepherding my two miserable nephews thru the museum. Only when we drove out did I see the Moai in its new (much less dignified) resting place in the parking lot. Perhaps I'll get the shot next time I head back to the Museum (which will be when Hawaii Hall opens again). |

Moai ain't got legs, but Mrs. Gilligan's doing a fine job of making up the difference. . . Anyway, back to the topic, here's the current location of the Bishop Museum moai, out in front of the main entrance: |
