A museum under water...

 
The MUSA (Museo Subacuático de Arte) is an underwater museum located off the coast of Cancun, Isla Mujeres, and Punta Nizuc in Mexico. It was established in 2009 and is one of the largest underwater art attractions in the world.

Musa is more than just a museum, it is the largest underwater museum in the world! The 500 sculptures are placed between 4m and 8m underwater to offer new habitats to the aquatic fauna and flora suffering from the disappearance of corals. Manchones, Nizuc and Punta Sam have three "showrooms" that can be visited by snorkeling, diving (with tanks) or simply by glass bottom boat.

The first underwater museum in the Americas was founded in Manchones in 1968.

Manchones and Nizuc have a school and a dolphinarium, while Punta has a natural history museum.

Visitors can view the sculptures by snorkeling, diving, or taking a glass-bottom boat tour. The museum is accessible to both experienced and novice divers and offers a unique and unforgettable experience for visitors of all ages.

In addition to the art installations, the museum also serves as a platform for ongoing marine conservation research and offers educational programs for local schools and the public.

Good to know: From Playa del Carmen, you must first go to Cancun. You can book a diving trip to the Manchones with transportation and snorkeling equipment here
