If you happen to be spending your
holidays on the Canary island of Lanzarote
and you like scuba diving, why not
combine your hobby with a visit to a
museum? Museo Atlantico, the first
underwater museum in Europe, is now
open to visitors. Located at a depth of
about 15 metres, the museum displays
over 300 large human sculptures created
by the British artist Jason deCaires Taylor.
The sculptures were put on the ocean
floor in February 2016, and a year later
the museum was opened to divers and
other visitors, who can see the sculptures
from glass-bottomed boats. The whole
project has a strong environmental
message. The artist wanted to improve
conditions for marine life around the
island. That’s why the installations were
made of special material which does not
affect the ecosystem. No metals or plastics
were used to build the museum …
