Oostende voor Anker vindt in 2019 plaats van donderdag 23 mei tot zondag 26 mei 2019 met als thema ‘De parel van Oostende, de Barkentijn Mercator.’ Ter gelegenheid van de 20ste editie van Oostende voor Anker zal vanaf 23 mei tot eind december 2019 een prestigieuze tentoonstelling plaatsvinden op het zeilschip. De tentoonstelling zal het verhaal vertellen van de expeditie naar “Rapa Nui” (Paaseiland). In opdracht van het Koninklijk museum voor Kunst en Geschiedenis was de Belgische wetenschapper Henri Lavachery vertrokken op expeditie naar de Paaseilanden waar hij de cultuur en de bekende beelden zou onderzoeken. De terugreis gebeurde met de Mercator. De barkentijn maakt in het najaar van 1934 de tocht van Antwerpen via het Panamakanaal naar Rapa Nui en kwam daar op 12 december 1934 aan. Met de Chileense autoriteiten was overeengekomen dat de Frans-Belgische expeditie een aantal kunst- en cultuurvoorwerpen mochten meenemen naar Europa. De wetenschappers kozen in overleg met de Chileense gouverneur op het eiland enkele kleine en grote beelden uit, die op de Mercator moeten geraken. Een stenen hoofd van 3 ton is bestemd voor Frankrijk. De Belgen zien het groter en kiezen een volledig beeld, door de inboorlingen “Pou Hakanononga” genoemd, de “god van de tonijnvissers”, een 3-meter hoge kolos van bijna 6 ton. Het volledige verhaal van de expeditie en de terugkeer naar België zal je kunnen ontdekken tijdens de tentoonstelling met unieke stukken uit de collectie van de Koninklijke Musea voor Kunst en Geschiedenis in Brussel.

Ostend for Anchor will take place in 2019 from Thursday 23 May to Sunday 26 May 2019 with the theme "The Pearl of Ostend, the Barkentine Mercator." On the occasion of the 20th edition of Oostende voor Anker, from 23 May to the end of December 2019 a prestigious exhibition take place on the sailing ship. The exhibition will tell the story of the expedition to "Rapa Nui" (Easter Island). Commissioned by the Royal Museum for Art and History, the Belgian scientist Henri Lavachery had left on an expedition to the Easter Islands where he would investigate the culture and the well-known images. The return journey happened with the Mercator. In the autumn of 1934 the barkentijn made the voyage from Antwerp via the Panama Canal to Rapa Nui and arrived there on 12 December 1934. It had been agreed with the Chilean authorities that the Franco-Belgian expedition could take a number of art and culture objects to Europe. The scientists, in consultation with the Chilean governor on the island, selected a few small and large statues to be sent to the Mercator. A stone head of 3 tons is destined for France. The Belgians see it bigger and choose a complete picture, called "Pou Hakanononga" by the natives, the "god of the tuna fishermen", a 3-meter high colossus of nearly 6 tons. You can discover the full story of the expedition and the return to Belgium during the exhibition with unique pieces from the collection of the Royal Museums of Art and History in Brussels.
