Coral Greenhouse
Coral Greenhouse is a unique underwater art museum, reminiscent of an islands. Built of corrosion-resistant stainless, the building rises 12m above the ocean floor. Its structure is biomorphic with the intention of encouraging coral growth and integrating with the environment. It is porous and allows for excellent overhead light penetration as well as ample floor space. This architecture makes it possible for you to take a dive into the underwater museum while still enjoying the magnificent view of the ocean.
The Anchors
The Anchors has six sculptures which are submerged beneath the water. They are the faces of famous people. "The Anchors," which features the heads of anchors from "Today" show, was commissioned to promote a story about the museum on the television program. Another exhibit is "The Ear," a hard drive and hydrophone that records the sounds from sea life. This exhibit is about the connection between humans and the ocean.
The Banker
The Banker underwater art museum is an immersive experience that's perfect for anyone who enjoys the ocean and art. The sculpture park, which is located in Grenada & Cancun, will also be Europe’s first subaquatic museum once it's completed in 2017. Jason deCaires Taylor, an artist who has been exhibiting works in the ocean nearly a decade, uses marine-grade cement and creates a variety of works that include ocean life.
Ocean Siren
Ocean Siren, a new undersea art museum opened in Townsville Australia. The bizarre statue appears to be a woman standing out from the water holding a seashell. Takoda John, a Wulgurukaba person, was the inspiration for the sculpture. The sculpture uses color changing LED lights that alter color depending upon the temperature of the water. The Great Barrier Reef's weather station collects data to identify the different shades in the sculpture at night.
Ocean Siren is a statue that was modeled after a young Wulgurukaba Girl.
The statue, named Ocean Siren, is an interactive sculpture standing just beyond the Strand Jetty in Townsville, Australia. It was designed to be an ambassador for the ocean and to inspire reef conservation action. The statue, which is 12 feet tall and 16 feet wide, changes color to reflect the current ocean temperature. The statue was made in collaboration by scientists and local native people.
Ocean Siren changes color based on water temperature
The Ocean Siren sculpture, which is a landmark of Townsville, Australia, has a message for divers and is known as "Ocean Siren". DeCaires Taylor from Australia created it. The reef's water temperature affects the color of the sculpture. 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. The installation may restore coral reefs that were destroyed by climate changes.
