Has the Maldives Underwater Museum been demolished? What other underwater sculptures are there?

We are no strangers to Maldives. We know it has beautiful sea water and scenery. The most peculiar building here is that there are many underwater structures in Maldives, such as underwater restaurants and underwater hotels. Today, Bian Xiao will tell you about this underwater museum.

The Underwater Museum is a collaboration between British artist JasondeCairesTaylor and Fermon Srufen Hotel in Maldives, aiming at protecting marine resources such as corals under trees and making the island more beautiful.

The sculptures in the underwater museum are all made of nontoxic, neutral and pollution-free environmental protection materials. Fish, shellfish and coral can all live here, which is a good measure for the environment, but recently I heard that it will be demolished! What exactly is going on? Let's have a look!

Has the Maldives Underwater Museum been demolished? At the end of September, the local government of Maldives ordered the demolition of the sculpture! The reason is that sculpture violates the Islamic doctrine of "prohibiting idolatry".

Although these museums were attacked by some religious groups at the beginning of their construction, they were not stopped by the government and are still being demolished.

Taylor, the artist, was very sad after hearing the news, because his cherished works only survived for two months in the world, and the team spent nine months preparing, designing and building them.

Fortunately, however, the tree-like main frame structure of the museum and the underwater artificial coral reef where corals grow have not been demolished, and the marine life settled here has not been disturbed. It is also reported that the hotel management said that it will further cooperate with artists to rebuild buildings that adapt to the local environment and customs.

Taylor, what other underwater sculptures are MuseoSubacuáticodeArte?

Cancun, Mexico

This underwater museum consists of more than 500 life-size sculptures. It is a masterpiece of Taylor and several local Mexican artists. The purpose is to disperse to the women's island (Isla

Mujeres) tourists protect marine ecology such as coral reefs.

Nassau Bahamas

This place is different from other underwater museums in the world, because there is only one sculpture, a Bahamian girl, which means to resist the burden of the ocean like the Atlas giant in ancient Greek legend.

It also symbolizes that our current damage to the marine environment will bring a burden to future generations. It is the largest underwater sculpture in the world. At the beginning of construction, because the sculpture is very large, the artist first divided it into several layers on land and then hung it underwater for assembly.

Degree of victimization

Glendana

This is Taylor's first underwater sculpture, including 75 sculptures, quietly existing in this 800-square-meter sea area.

If you want to come here, you need to take a boat for about 10 minutes and arrive two miles north of the capital St. George.

Moreover, the seabed is constantly undulating and ravines are vertical and horizontal. If you want to see it, you need to look for it.

Atlantic museum

Lasarot, i.

This is the first underwater museum in Europe, with 12 sculptures. It was completed in February 20 16 and officially opened in early 20 17. There are countless marine life here, and even flat sharks, barracuda, sardines, octopus and rays swim here.

These sculptures not only exist as a landscape, but also have the significance of protecting the environment. They are to disperse tourists who are too concentrated in one place, and then protect local marine resources such as corals, which is very meaningful!
