AN AMAZING THINGS YOU NEVER KNEW, HOW IT HAPPENED UNDER THE WATER


You couldn't imagine if there such a things like this. But it made possible by a British artist.


Jason Decaires Taylor, has finished work on a 300-sculpture underwater museum off the coast of Lazarote, Spain.


The Museo Atlántico in Playa Blanca is the only underwater sculpture museum in Europe. It has been open to the public since 2 March 2016. Divers can dive here amongst the impressive sculptures.



The underwater museum in Lanzarote is situated in a protected area near Coloradas at a deph of 15 meters.



The Museo Atlántico will be built in several phases. The first phase, which consists of six different groups, is now complete. Los Jolateras, the first component, is a group of children in little brass boats. You can also see the famous Raft of Lampedusa, a reference to the current refugee crisis.


Installation kicked off early last year, with the first group of works going up on their watery site in February, submerged some 45 feet below the surface.


Dubbed the Museo Atlantico, the enigmatic gallery on the ocean floor includes dreamlike humanoid statues “walking” toward an intricate, 98-foot-long gate entitled “The Portal.”


Scuba divers and vacationers aboard glass-bottomed boats aren’t the only visits the museum is meant to attract. The museum doubles as a habitat for a number of sea fauna, from fish to octopuses to urchins.


To call the sculptures on display “eclectic” doesn’t quite seem to cut it. There’s an installation of what appears to be a pile of bodies (!) arranged in a circle; a sculpture of a person on what looks suspiciously like a funeral pyre; and more.
