If you have never been to an underwater art museum, you are in for a treat. This museum offers dozens and dozens more exhibitions. It is a must for everyone. The Coral Greenhouse and Anchors are among the many exhibits. 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. There is even a gift shop!
Coral Greenhouse
The unique structure of the Coral Greenhouse is an underwater art museum reminiscent of an island. The building rises 12m from the ocean floor and is constructed of corrosion-resistant stainless steel. The structure is biomorphic and designed to encourage coral growth. The structure is highly porous, allowing for good overhead light penetration and plenty of floor space. The underwater art museum can be accessed from the beach, so you don't have to worry about getting wet.
The Anchors
The Anchors has six sculptures which are submerged beneath the water. They are the faces and bodies of famous people. "The Anchors," which features heads of anchors from "Today", was created in order to promote a story on 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 museum offers an unforgettable experience for those who love the ocean and art. When it is completed in 2017, the sculpture park will be Europe's first underwater museum. It is located in Grenada, Cancun. Jason deCaires Taylor, an artist, has been showing works in the ocean for over a decade. He uses marine cement to make a range that includes ocean life.
Ocean Siren
Ocean Siren, an underwater art museum in Townsville, Australia has been opened. The strange statue depicts a woman rising from the sea holding a shell. Takoda Johnson (a Wulgurukaba member) modeled the sculpture. He also owns the land. 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 an iconic statue, which was inspired by a young Wulgurukaba girl.
The statue, named Ocean Siren, is an interactive sculpture standing just beyond the Strand Jetty in Townsville, Australia. 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 colors change based on the water temperature
The Ocean Siren statue is a Townsville landmark and has a message to scuba divers. DeCaires Taylor in Australia designed it. Johnson is an Aboriginal Wulgurukaba member, who are traditional land owners. The sculpture, which stands 16 feet tall, was powered by solar panels and serves as a warning to people about rising sea temperatures. This installation could help to restore coral reefs destroyed by climate change.
