The first
ever underwater museum in Europe has been completed. The atlantic museum is located
deep in the waters off the Spanish island of Lanzarote. The human figures which
are placed in the depths of the sea between 12 and 15 meters on the seafloor of
Las Coloradas bay will act as a breeding site for local species.
Speaking to
CNN, international sculpture artist Decaires Taylor, says; “the whole idea was
for it to become a portal to another world. I want it to inspire people to
understand more about oceans and threats facing it”.
Taylor who
is also responsible for sculptures at underwater museums in the Bahamas, Mexico
and the Antilles makes his sculptures from concrete depicting activities from
everyday human life.
