It is going to
be made of sculptures by Jason deCaires Taylor, a British artist who
says that with these sculptures he wanted to reflect the actual
situation of the world, with statues of people taking selfies to
represent the importance of the technology nowadays, or with statues
that represent the syrian refugees, to picture the actual situation
and to tribute all those refugees who couldn't survive and whose
bodies lay underwater. In general, Taylor says that the sculptures
will attract animal and plant life and this is a way to represent the
connexion between humans and nature.
Although there
were some polemic about the location of the museum, the authorities
of Lanzarote are happy with the project and claim it to be something
historic, that will allow the island the ability to show the bottom
of the sea to the world from a different view, and that will also
make the island be a unique tourist destination.
PERSONAL OPINION:
I find this
project very original and cool, and I think it will be attractive for
the tourists to visit an underwater museum. Also, I like the fact
that Jason deCaires Taylor has decided to include thinks that are
important and that are marking the society nowadays, because I think
that in some years time, when the people visit the museum, the
sculptures are going to look a little bit neglected because being
underwater will have damaged them, and visiting old sculptures that
represent the past will be kind of travelling to that time.
