If you have never visited an underwater art museum before, you are in for a treat. This museum offers dozens and dozens more exhibitions. It is a must for everyone. The Coral Greenhouse, Anchors and The Banker are just a few of the exhibits that are on display. Each exhibit displays different art forms from around the world and is sure inspire you to learn about the beauty of oceans. The gift shop is also available.
Coral Greenhouse
Coral Greenhouse's unique structure is an underwater art museum with a island-like feel. Built of corrosion-resistant stainless, the building rises 12m above the ocean floor. Its biomorphic design encourages coral growth and integrates with the natural environment. It is porous and allows for excellent overhead light penetration as well as ample floor space. This architecture makes it possible for you to take a dive into the underwater museum while still enjoying the magnificent view of the ocean.
The Anchors
The Anchors is the only museum that has six sculptures that are submerged in the water. They are the faces and bodies of famous people. "The Anchors," which features the faces of anchors from Today, was created to promote a story that featured the museum. "The Ear," a hydrophone and hard drive that records the sounds of sea life, is another exhibit. This exhibit examines the relationship between humans and the sea.
The Banker
The Banker underwater art museum is an immersive experience, perfect for people who love art and the ocean. When it is completed in 2017, the sculpture park will be Europe's first underwater museum. It is located in Grenada, Cancun. Jason deCaires Taylor, an artist, has been showing works in the ocean for over a decade. He uses marine cement to make a range that includes ocean life.
Ocean Siren
Ocean Siren, an undersea museum, has recently opened in Townsville (Australia). The bizarre statue appears to be a woman standing out from the water holding a seashell. Takoda Johnson (a Wulgurukaba member) modeled the sculpture. He also owns the land. The sculpture uses color-changing LED light that changes colors depending on the temperature. The Great Barrier Reef's weather station collects data to identify the different shades in the sculpture at night.
Ocean Siren is a statue that was modeled after a young Wulgurukaba Girl.
Ocean Siren, an interactive sculpture, stands just beyond Townsville's Strand Jetty. It was built to promote the ocean and encourage reef conservation. The statue is 12 feet high and 16 ft wide. Its color changes according to current ocean temperatures. This statue was created in collaboration with scientists and local indigenous people.
Ocean Siren color changes depending on water temperature
The Ocean Siren sculpture has a scuba diver's message and is a landmark in Townsville, Australia. DeCaires Taylor from Australia created it. The reef's water temperature affects the color of the sculpture. Johnson is part of the Wulgurukaba indigenous people who are the traditional owners the local land. The 16-foot-tall sculpture, powered by solar panel power, is an alarm for people concerned about rising sea levels. The installation may restore coral reefs that were destroyed by climate changes.
