Coral Greenhouse
Coral Greenhouse is an underwater museum of art that resembles an island. Built of corrosion-resistant stainless, the building rises 12m above the ocean floor. Its design is biomorphic, with the structure designed to inspire the growth of coral and thereby integrate with the natural environment. Its porous nature allows for high overhead light penetration and large floor spaces. This architecture also makes it possible to dive into the underwater art museum, while still enjoying its expansive view of the ocean.
The Anchors
The Anchors is a museum unlike any other, with six sculptures that have been submerged below the water. They are famous faces. "The Anchors," which features the faces of anchors from Today, was created to promote a story that featured the museum. Another exhibit is the "The Ear", a hydrophone and hard disk that records sounds of sea life. This exhibit explores the link between humans, the sea, and each other.
The Banker
The Banker underwater art museum is an immersive experience, perfect for people who love art and the ocean. When completed in 2017, the sculpture park in Grenada will also be Europe's premier subaquatic museums. Jason deCaires Taylor, an artist who has been exhibiting works in the ocean nearly a decade, uses marine-grade cement and creates a variety of works that include ocean life.
Ocean Siren
Ocean Siren, an underwater art museum in Townsville, Australia has been opened. The eerie statue looks like a woman emerging from the sea while holding a shell. Takoda John, a Wulgurukaba person, was the inspiration for the sculpture. The sculpture uses color-changing LED lights that change color depending on the temperature of the sea. The Great Barrier Reef has a weather station that collects data so that visitors can easily recognize the different shades of sculpture night.

The statue, named Ocean Siren, is an interactive sculpture standing just beyond the Strand Jetty in Townsville, Australia. It was created as an ambassador for ocean conservation and to encourage reef conservation. The statue measures 12 feet high and 16 feet wide. It changes color according to the ocean temperature. The statue was built in collaboration between scientists and local Indigenous people.

The Ocean Siren sculpture in Townsville, Australia has a message from scuba divers. It is a landmark. DeCaires Taylor in Australia designed it. Johnson is part of the Wulgurukaba indigenous people who are the traditional owners 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 help restore coral reefs that have been destroyed by climate change.
