You are sure to enjoy a unique experience if you've never been to an underwater museum. The museum boasts dozens if exhibitions and is a must-see destination for the whole family. The Coral Greenhouse, Anchors and The Banker are just a few of the exhibits that are on display. Every exhibit showcases different art from all over the globe and will inspire you to discover more about the beauty and wonder of the ocean. The gift shop is also available.
Coral Greenhouse
Coral Greenhouse, an underwater museum that exhibits underwater art, is unique in its unique structure. It reminds one of an island. The structure rises 12m off the ocean floor. It is made from corrosion-resistant stainless metal. Its biomorphic design encourages coral growth and integrates with the natural environment. Its porous nature allows for high overhead light penetration and large floor spaces. The architecture allows you to see the ocean from your dive, and also lets you enjoy the underwater art museum.
The Anchors
There is no museum like The Anchors, which has six sculptures submerged under the water. They are famous faces. "The Anchors," featuring the heads of anchors on "Today", was created to promote a story about the museum. "The Ear," a hydrophone and hard drive that records the sounds of sea life, is another exhibit. This exhibit explores the link between humans, the sea, and each other.
The Banker
The Banker Underwater Art Museum is an immersive experience perfect for anyone who loves the ocean and arts. When completed in 2017, the sculpture park in Grenada will also be Europe's premier subaquatic museums. Jason deCaires Taylor, an artist who has been exhibiting works in the ocean nearly a decade, uses marine-grade cement and creates a variety of works that include ocean life.
Ocean Siren
Recently, an undersea art museum has opened in Townsville, Australia, called Ocean Siren. The statue is eerie and looks like a woman emerging out of the sea, holding a small shell. Takoda J. Johnson, a Wulgurukaba native, was the model for the sculpture. The sculpture is lit by color-changing LED lights, which change their color according to the temperature of water. Data is collected from a weather station located on the Great Barrier Reef, so visitors can easily identify the different shades of the sculpture in the night.
Ocean Siren is a statue modeled after a young Wulgurukaba girl
Ocean Siren is an interactive sculpture that stands just beyond Townsville’s Strand Jetty. It was designed to be an ambassador for the ocean and to inspire reef conservation action. The statue, which is 12 feet tall and 16 feet wide, changes color to reflect the current ocean temperature. The statue was made in collaboration by scientists and local native people.
Ocean Siren changes its color depending on the water temperature
The Ocean Siren sculpture has a scuba diver's message and is a landmark in Townsville, Australia. DeCaires Taylor, an Australian sculptor, created it. It changes its color depending on the temperature of the surrounding reef. Johnson is a member the Wulgurukaba tribe, which are the traditional owners and stewards of the local land. The 16-foot sculpture was made from solar panels and is meant to warn people about the rising temperature. The installation may help restore coral reefs that have been destroyed by climate change.
