Coral Greenhouse

The structure is biomorphic and designed to encourage coral growth. Its porous nature allows for high overhead light penetration and large floor spaces. It is possible to enjoy the expansive ocean view from the museum's underwater art gallery, but also dive into it.
The Anchors
There is no museum like The Anchors, which has six sculptures submerged under the water. They are the faces and bodies of famous people. "The Anchors," which features the heads of anchors from "Today" show, was commissioned to promote a story about the museum on the television program. Another exhibit is the "The Ear", a hydrophone and hard disk that records sounds of sea life. This exhibit explores the link between humans, the sea, and each other.
The Banker
The Banker underwater art museum is an immersive experience that's perfect for anyone who enjoys the ocean and art. When completed in 2017, the sculpture park in Grenada will also be Europe's premier subaquatic museums. Jason deCaires Taylor uses marine-grade cement for his works, which incorporate sea life.
Ocean Siren
Ocean Siren is an undersea arts museum that opened recently in Townsville, Australia. It looks like a woman emerges from the ocean while holding a shell. Takoda, a Wulgurukaba tribe member, designed the sculpture. The sculpture uses color-changing LED lighting that changes color depending on the ocean temperature. The Great Barrier Reef has a weather station that collects data so that visitors can easily recognize the different shades of sculpture night.
Ocean Siren is a statue that was modeled after a young Wulgurukaba Girl.
Ocean Siren, an interactive sculpture, stands just beyond Townsville's Strand Jetty. It was built to promote the ocean and encourage reef conservation. The statue, measuring 12 feet in height and 16 feet in width, changes its color to reflect current ocean temperatures. This statue was created in collaboration with scientists and local indigenous people.
Ocean Siren changes its color depending on the water temperature
The Ocean Siren sculpture is a landmark in Townsville (Australia) and features a message for scuba divers. It changes color according to the water temperature surrounding the reef, and was created by Australian sculptor DeCaires Taylor. Johnson is a member of the indigenous Wulgurukaba people, who are the traditional owners of the local land. The 16-foot tall sculpture is powered by solar panels. It serves as a warning about rising sea temperatures. The installation might help restore coral reefs damaged by climate change.
