The Intiñan Museum is 200 meters (656 feet) away from the Mitaddel Mundo Monument (Middle of the World). Here, its tour guides recreate a series of physics experiments to demonstrate that . You can see an egg balancing on the head of a nail, and how water drains in opposite directions, depending on which hemisphere you are in. You can also learn about the pre-Columbian cultures of the area; their tolas (ceremonial mounds), sundials, and even about their head-shrinking process.

Address: Av. Manuel Cordova Galarza, 200 meters away from the entrance to Mitaddel Mundo Monument.
