Underwater Museums by Jason deCaires Taylor
Jason deCaires Taylor is renowned for creating immersive underwater art installations that blend art, nature, and environmental consciousness. His innovative work reimagines the underwater realm as a public art space allowing each creation to evolve into living, evolving ecosystems. Over the past 20 years, Taylor has collaborated with local communities around the globe, creating a series of Underwater Museums. Each project transforms barren or damaged seabeds into flourishing habitats. These spaces redefine our understanding of the underwater world by assigning it the same cultural and ecological importance as traditional museums, emphasising the importance of preservation, conservation, and education.
