The Cancun Underwater Museum is an innovative project set up by Marine Park Director Jaime Gonzalez Canto in Cancun, Mexico. Total 500 sculptures are available in the museum and most of them are made by the British sculptor Jason deCaires Taylor.

The remaining sculptures are provided by five Mexican sculptors. Sculptures are placed within three different galleries which are located three meters deep in the ocean water.
