Quito is a city of contrasts and living history, where museum collections tell about the culture of Ecuador, its nature and peoples. A trip to local museums turns into a fascinating route: from scientific interactive areas to live exhibitions that can not be seen anywhere else. Visiting Quito means combining walks through colonial streets with deep museum impressions and a variety of excursions for every taste.
A special place in the museum palette is occupied by the Intinyan Museum, located right on the equator - the exposition is created to popularize the culture of the inhabitants of Ecuador and celebrates the geographical middle of the planet, offering interactive demonstrations and ethnographic artifacts. No less exciting is the Butterfly and Hummingbird Farm in Mindo Reserve, near Quito: you can see all the stages of butterfly development, rare species, as well as watch the flight of a hummingbird in a natural environment. In the vicinity of the city there are small regional museums and natural centers, where collections on biology, folk art and archaeology are demonstrated - these objects perfectly complement the urban routes and allow a deeper understanding of the nature and culture of the region.
The museum life of Quito is active and multifaceted: the halls regularly host temporary exhibitions, educational programs for children and adults, thematic festivals and imported expositions from other regions of the country. At different times of the year, there are special projects dedicated to Ecuadorian flora and fauna, folk crafts and historical themes; many museums hold master classes and lectures, as well as organize author’s excursions with elements of practice and observation. Follow the posters and announcements – during the tourist season, activity is especially high, unique exhibitions and joint projects with national collections appear.
