Amazing Underwater World

By January 26, 2016 Art, Interesting, Nice 0 Comments

In November 2009 Jason deCaires Taylor started a monumental project off the coast of CancĂșn in Mexico. He created and placed hundreds of statues that look like forgotten ancient relics in shallow waters in the CancĂșn National Marine Park, which had been previously damaged by storms. He has made more than 500 of the life-sized permanent sculptures and they are all made with specialised pH-neutral marine concrete used to promote viral life. The project has been named “The Silent Evolution” and is classed as an underwater museum that is called MUSA. Snorkelers, scuba divers, and tourists in glass-bottom boats can go to visit this strange museum and the installation is intended to eventually cover more than 4,520 square feet, which would make it one of the largest underwater attractions in the world.
