Cancun's Underwater Museum Gets New Sculptures

THE Cancun and Isla Mujeres Underwater Art Museum just got even cooler with some amazing new sculptures from artist Jason de Caires Taylor. "Dream Collector features dozens of bottles containing messages of encouragement sent from around the world, while Man on Fire has 75 holes planted with fire coral... The sculptures have been created with PH neutral concrete that will allow algae and small invertebrates to flourish, boosting the local ecosystem. The appearance of the sculptures will change over time as the coral reefs and marine life grow." By next month, Jason expects to have 250 sculptures down there!

This crazy thing started back in November, you can see the old post here:

Wow that's crazy the details are crazy. Hey what do you think people in the future are going to think about this like in 2 thosand years when every one for gets about it a some diver finds them LOL

 

^^agreed^^

But this is really neat. it also brings some attention to the reef which is great. Should look even cooler when the sculptures are covered in coraline and coral... i see they put some frags on them already. also as life grows on them it will change the appearance making the sculptures ever evolving art.

great vid! thanks!
