Cancun Underwater Museum
In 2009, the MUSA underwater museum was created along the Cancun coast of Mexico. This underwater museum is the biggest underwater museum in the world; the immediate area where it was erected is home to statues that were positioned underwater after their construction.
Having the museum underwater has had the effect of making the sculptures mix with sea elements like algae and coral, giving them a natural look even though they’re all man-made. MUSA itself lists the museum’s purpose as one intended to demonstrate how art and environmental science interact as different forms of expression.
