Just off the coast of Ayia Napa, Cyprus, lies the Museum of Underwater Sculpture Ayia Napa (MUSAN), a unique aquatic gallery featuring over 90 works by British sculptor Jason deCaires Taylor. This submerged exhibition, often described as an ‘underwater forest,’ is a striking collection of sculptures that blend human and arboreal forms. Visitors can dive or snorkel to explore this underwater realm, where intricate figures and tree-like structures create a hauntingly beautiful and otherworldly environment. The museum not only offers a captivating experience but also serves as an artificial reef, promoting marine biodiversity.
