Presenting Easter Island

THE Friends of Blake Museum present a talk by Val Bannister entitled Easter Island at the Blake Museum, Blake Street, on Tuesday, July 14, at 7.30pm.

Val visited this remote island in 2002 and found that the iconic statues, or moai, were only a small part of its fascinating history – and that, contrary to popular myth, rather than looking despairingly out to sea they in fact overlook - and apparently guard - the crop-growing fields and villages.

Entrance is £3 for non members and all are welcome.
