Tourists to the beautiful Yucatan Peninsula off the coast of Cancun, Mexico will have one more thing to look forward to – an amazing underwater museum featuring 400 sculptures, inspired from both contemporary and Mayan influences.
The Subaquatic Sculpture Museum will be the world’s largest underwater museum. It has been commissioned by Mexico’s West Coast National Park, who hopes to divert visitor attention away from the area’s coral reefs, which have been severely damaged thanks to the almost 300,000 tourists that visit the area, each year.
Vicissitudes show a circle of figures which are linked through holding hands.
They are life-size casts taken from a group of children.
