Museum of Ethnography

At Pichincha, Ecuador, near Mitad Del Mundo is the Ethnography Museum. The outdoor mirador or balcony works as a view point to get a bird’s eye view of the middle of the earth. The museum itself displays the weaves, pictures and timelines of the indigenous population of Ecuador. There is also a planetarium inside which projects the stars and other heavenly bodies as seen from the point, i.e., from the middle of the world. There are two, very short presentations on Earth and solar system; and the sky from the middle of Earth.
