Coral Greenhouse
The unique structure of the Coral Greenhouse is an underwater art museum reminiscent of an island. The structure is made of corrosion-resistant stainless and rises 12m above sea level. Its biomorphic design encourages coral growth and integrates with the natural environment. The structure is also highly porous, providing excellent overhead light penetration and 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 Museum has six sculptures in water. They are the faces of famous people. "The Anchors," which features the faces of anchors from Today, was created to promote a story that featured the museum. Another exhibit is "The Ear," a hard drive and hydrophone that records the sounds from sea life. This exhibit focuses on the connection between human beings and the sea.

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 is an artist who has displayed works in the sea for almost a decade. He uses marine-grade concrete to create works that incorporate human-made waste.
Ocean Siren
Recently, an undersea art museum has opened in Townsville, Australia, called Ocean Siren. The eerie statue looks like a woman emerging from the sea while holding a shell. Takoda, a Wulgurukaba tribe member, designed the sculpture. The sculpture uses color-changing LED light that changes colors depending on the temperature. The Great Barrier Reef's weather station collects data to identify the different shades in the sculpture at night.

Ocean Siren, an interactive statue, can be found just beyond Townsville's Strand Jetty. It was created to serve as an ambassador for the ocean, and inspire reef conservation efforts. The statue, measuring 12 feet in height and 16 feet in width, changes its color to reflect current ocean temperatures. The statue was made in collaboration by scientists and local native people.
Ocean Siren colors change based on the water temperature
The Ocean Siren statue is a Townsville landmark and has a message to scuba divers. DeCaires Taylor, an Australian sculptor created the sculpture that changes in color depending on the water temperature around the reef. Johnson is a member the Wulgurukaba tribe, which are the traditional owners and stewards of the local land. The 16-foot tall sculpture is powered by solar panels. It serves as a warning about rising sea temperatures. The installation may restore coral reefs that were destroyed by climate changes.
