The Maldives' first underwater sculpture museum - The Coralarium

[Badruddeen]

Hi Local Guides,

Today, I am going to share a discovery from the Maldives. The maldives' first underwater sculpture museum located at fairmont maldives sirru fen fushi. The coralarium, an innovative project by underwater sculpture artist Jason Decaires Taylor. (Content below are from Jason Decaires Taylor's website)

The Sculpture Coralarium is situated in the centre of the largest developed coral lagoon in the Maldives, on the island resort of Fairmont Maldives Sirru Fen Fushi. The artwork created by renowned environmental sculptor Jason deCaires Taylor is a semi-submerged tidal gallery space that exhibits a series of sculptural artworks on the skyline, inter-tidal waterline and seabed.

 The work aims to create a direct pathway to the ocean. A long swimming pool transects the island and denotes the starting point. The art installation begins by following this line into the clear shallow waters of the sea where an underwater coral pavement begins. Sea-scaped with underwater poplar trees and endemic planted corals it heads 100m through the shallows towards the underwater realm, a symbolic pathway to another world and the starting point of the artistic intervention.
