The ocean is a place of wonder, from delicate reefs to intriguing wrecks and colourful critters. It’s not that we need more, but sometimes it’s fun to explore something different — like a trip to an underwater museum. Here are some of the most impressive underwater sculptures you probably didn’t know existed.

Ocean Atlas: At 18 feet tall and 60 tonnes, “Ocean Atlas” is the world’s largest underwater sculpture.
