The Underwater Museum of Art (MUSA), nestled between Cancún, Punta Nizuc, and Isla Mujeres, is gearing up to expand its unique underwater display. Roberto Díaz Abraham, MUSA's director, has revealed plans to submerge over 60 new pieces, with Punta Sam being a potential location for their installation.
Díaz Abraham shared that MUSA continues to thrive, serving not only as a popular tourist destination but also as a sanctuary for marine life. The submerged sculptures provide shelter and sustenance for young fish, and they are teeming with life. Oceanographer Vivianne Solís has confirmed that these sculptures do not introduce any harmful elements into the ocean. Instead, they mimic the ecosystem of natural reefs.
One of the notable additions to the collection is "The Coral Warriors," an installation conceived by the director himself. This piece symbolizes deceased corals returning to the sea for rebirth. Despite recent hurricanes sweeping across the northern coast of the Mexican Caribbean, the majority of MUSA's works have remained intact, showcasing their resilience against natural disasters.
