Have you been to an underwater museum before? Even if you have, this one would definitely blow your mind. ‘Museo Subacu\u00e1tico de Arte’ Cancun is the biggest submerged museum in the world. More than 500 life-size underwater art installations await you in the National Marine Park near Cancun, Punta Nizuc and Isla Mujeres. The shallow depth of some of the galleries makes the museum great attraction for avid divers of all levels and snorkelers alike.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Cancun’s underwater museum of art was originally established in 2010 with the artworks of many artists under the direction of the British Sculptor: Jason deCaires Taylor. Special PH-neutral marine concrete was used in the creation of all statues. \u0422he goal of the art installation is to help restore the disrupted coral reefs and provide extra area for the ocean inhabitants to colonize and thus counteract the devastating climate change effects on marine life. Ocean conservation comes first.<\/p>\n
