underwater museum

Sunken art exhibition

An underwater museum is a collection of art, artifacts, or structures submerged beneath the water's surface, typically viewed by divers or through glass-bottomed boats.

Some preserve shipwrecks or archaeological sites in place; others display sculptures intentionally sunk to create artificial reefs: The underwater museum off Cancún features hundreds of statues on the seafloor.
