An eerie netherworld, which is often touted as the world’s largest underwater sculpture park under construction, will be sited somewhere in the northern part of the Mexican state of Quintana Roo in late 2010 or early 2011. Dubbed as the National Marine Park of Isla Mujeres, the undersea museum will contain more than 400 sculptures when constructed as part of The Silent Evolution project.

You could see these sculptures showing stone people typing on a keyboard, lying asleep or riding a bike. Made from a special PH neutral and anti-corrosive concrete, the sculptures will eventually form artificial corals to support marine life. Accessible to snorkelers and scuba divers, the museum will attract tourists for sure.
