Immerse yourself in Marine Art and Conservation
CANCUN UNDERWATER MUSEUM
The Underwater Museum of Art (MUSA), located in the crystal clear waters of the Mexican Caribbean, between Cancun and Isla Mujeres, is a unique attraction in the world that combines contemporary art with marine conservation. This underwater museum is not only a visual delight for divers and snorkelers, but also an innovative ecological project that promotes the growth of corals and marine life.
History and Purpose of MUSA
Founded in 2009, MUSA was created with the vision of diverting the attention of tourists away from the natural reefs, which were suffering from overexploitation, to an artificial reef that would provide a safe habitat for marine life. The museum was the brainchild of British sculptor Jason deCaires Taylor, in collaboration with other artists and the Cancun National Marine Park.
