Dive into Australia's First Underwater Museum
Immerse yourself in the depths of the Great Barrier Reef and uncover a truly unique experience. Townsville is home to the Museum of Underwater Art (MOUA). MOUA, created in collaboration with renowned underwater sculptor Jason deCaires Taylor, stands as a beacon of reef conservation, restoration, and education, while also honouring the First Nations people of the region.
The striking installation, "Ocean Siren," rises from the waters along The Strand, reacting to real-time changes in water temperature. The second installation, "Coral Greenhouse," is situated on John Brewer Reef, a two-hour boat journey from Townsville. Here, snorkelers and divers can explore and admire the vibrant marine life that thrives around this extraordinary underwater artwork.
