Rapa Nui even offered a brand new Moai statue exclusive for the museum like they did for Minamisanriku, as exchange for the one that is in the museum. But the museum still said "no, we want THIS statue instead".

So while is good some pieces are in a safe place, you cannot ignore they're being twats with people whiling to donate newer pieces for the ones that were taken away.

Short of there being a bloody revolution going on, things are most at risk of damage, theft, or general lossage, when they are in transit. If they can make a new one on site and leave the historically significant where it is, especially if it is more accessible to the public, then from a basic logistical and security sense, that is where it should stay.

"The public"

Yes. That is what we call all those people.

NAYRT

AYRT is succinctly pointing out that you are engaging in a bias that commonly becomes apparent in these discussions, in which "the public" is assumed to be "people who have access to Western museums". Objectively, though, it's hard to argue that something on display in a museum owned by the government of the UK (pop. 67 million) is more available to the public than something on display in a museum owned by the government of, say, Nigeria (pop. 213.4 million.) In fact, it's likely to be more available to more members of the public in a Nigerian museum! This is a good time to rethink who you include when you say "the public" and how you may value access differently for people living in different parts of the world.
