Museo Subacuático de Arte – MUSA (Cancun, Mexico)

Molinere Underwater Sculpture Park (Molinere, Grenada)
In this museum visitors can find 65 interesting sculptures entirely made of concrete and rebar. Every year more statues are add to the collection transforming the museum in a new place to explore even for the ones who have already been there.
Museo Atlantico (Lanzarote, Spain)
The first Europe’s underwater museum has about 400 sculptures spread in a 2.5000 square meters area. This museum features realist sculptures of people in different situations and it was designed by the same artist from the MUSA in Cancun.
Shipwreck Trail (Florida, USA)

Underwater Museum at Cape Tarkhankut (Cape Tarkhankut, Crimea)
Also known as the “Alley of the Leaders” this museum features a unique collection of more than 50 sculptures and busts of former Soviet leaders and replicas of the most famous places in the world. Marx, Stalin and Lenin are side by side with the Eiffel Towers and the London Bridge.
