This underwater museum should be next on your travel list
Not everyone might be interested in visiting a museum but this is unique and will definitely grab your attention.
This is the first museum to be built under the Atlantic ocean and should be next on your travel list.
British sculptor Jason deCaires has sets up this amazing museum named 'Museo Atlantico,' situated off the coast of Lanzarote in Spain.
The place is 12 to 15 metres beneath the water. As per reports it's accessible to snorkelers and divers who are willing to go deep underwater.
"The project drawing on the dialogue between art and nature is designed on a conversational level to create a large scale artificial reef to aggregate local fish species and increase marine biomass whilst, on the other hand, to raise awareness to current threats facing the world's oceans," writes Jason deCaires on his Facebook page.
Jason deCaires had created the world's first underwater sculpture park off the west coast of Grenada in West Indies in 2006, co-founded MUSA (Museo Subacuatico de Arte), a monumental museum submerged off the coast of Cancun, Mexico in 2009. In 2014 he also installed the world's largest single underwater sculpture in the world, named 'Ocean Atlas,' in the Bahamas.
The museum ‘Museo Atlantico’ opens for the visitors from February 25. The project drawing on the dialogue between art and nature is designed on a conservational level to create a large scale artificial reef to aggregate local fish species and increase marine biomass whilst, on the other hand, to raise awareness to current threats facing the worlds oceans. The main installation, The Rubicon features a group of 35 people walking towards a gate, a point of no return or a portal to another world.
