The Atlantic Museum

One of the best plans you can make in Lanzarote is to visit a museum under the water. Just in front of Playa Blanca, we find one of the most peculiar underwater museums in Europe.

This is the Atlantic Museum and was created by the renowned artist Jason deCaires Taylor, who submerged life-size sculptures on the seabed. These works of art have become artificial reefs and are designed to interact with the marine environment, promoting the conservation of aquatic ecosystems.
