Cancún Underwater Museum

The Cancún Underwater Museum is an underwater sculpture museum housing over 500 unique sculptures across multiple galleries on the ocean floor. Located within the National Marine Park in Cancún and Isla Mujeres, this unique art museum appeals to visitors of all ages. Multiple tour types are available at the Cancún Underwater Museum, from snorkelling and diving to glass-bottom boat excursions, ranging from 45-minute tours to five-hour experiences.

The Cancún Underwater Museum was designed as an act of conservation, with the goal of saving nearby reefs that were being damaged by visitors and divers. In the shoreside Visitor’s Centre, you’ll find information on the Cancún Underwater Museum’s history, design, and conservation efforts, as well as background information on the artists and underwater art installations. You can also explore a collection of dry-land sculpture replicas at the Visitor’s Centre, as well as an artist workshop, a sculpture garden, and a gift shop.
