Abstract: First time exhibition in Chile presenting more than 300 patrimonial pieces, mostly never exhibited before, from the Polynesian islands in the southeastern Pacific Ocean, including objects from the Easter Island (Rapa Nui, Spanish: Isla de Pascua) a special territory of Chile since 1888 located at the southeastern most point of the Polynesian triangle. This unique collection of everyday, ceremonial, combat (real and for ritual use) objects created in different epochs and with diverse materials (wood, bone, stone, feathers) show the similarities and differences of the diverse civilizations that colonized and settled in the vast Pacific Ocean and are a clear reflection of their traditions, culture and navigational skills. The name of the exhibition means "Spirit of Rapa Nui" and includes pieces from the holdings of the diverse museums of the Dirección de Bibliotecas, Archivos y Museos (DIBAM)
