Underwater Museum in Cancun

April 19th, 2012

In Cancun (Mexico) there is a cool new Museum.. underwater! This cool concept by sculptor Jason deCaires Taylor, will cover 420 square meters of artificial reef, containing a major artwork called “The Silent Evolution”.

The concept is not only cool but also ecologicol, because Taylor hopes the reefs, which are already stressed by marine pollution, warming waters, and overfishing, can catch a break from the approximately 750,000 tourists who visit local reefs each year. So part of this project is to actually discharge those people away from the natural reefs and bring them to an area of artificial reefs..
