A new museum has opened this past January under the waters of Lanzarote, Spain. That’s right, underwater. Artist Jason deCaires Taylor has created over 300 sculptures that have been placed in an “underwater museum” for the public to visit. The sculptures have eerily been created from the molds of real people living above the waves. Some pose for a selfie, walk to their office, or lay on a couch. They all serve as a representation of the daily human activities that make us unaware of what is happening beneath the ocean surface. deCaires Taylor’s vision is to make humanity aware of the environmental concerns surrounding our oceans through his work. Within the past few decades, 40% of the natural coral reefs in the world’s oceans have been lost. According to The World Resources Institute, it is projected that by 2030, 90% of coral reefs will be in danger, and by 2050, all of them will be in danger. All of the sculptures are created with an environmentally friendly concrete that fosters coral growth. The museum serves as a breeding site for local plants and animals. Lanzarote, Spain will be Europe’s first underwater museum and deCaires Taylor’s fourth creation. Other underwater museums he has contributed to are located in Grenada, West Indies, Nassau, Bahamas, and Mexico – all worth diving into…literally.
