This exhibit tells us about the life and work of Pierre Loti, outstanding French sailor and writer that anchored on Easter Island on board of the frigate "La Flore" the 3 of January of 1872. During five days he drew and wrote in a truthful way about the island and had a friendly relation with its inhabitants.

This journalist work done with ethnography was published in Europe giving him fame. His work also permitted that a lot of people from the West could learn about Rapa Nui, that’s why his drawings and personal diary are from great value to study the history of our island.
