According to USAToday, the Cancun Underwater Museum will add 60 new sculptures to its collection this summer.
The museum was created in 2010 with the submerging of about 400 life-size, reinforced cement sculptures. The sculptures are meant to provide a habitat for corals and other marine life as well as to divert scuba divers and snorkelers away from fragile coral reefs.
Among the new works are "The Last Supper", a table setting for two with plates of half-eaten fish and a hand grenade centerpiece. "Urban Reef" is an architectual streetscape. "The Listener" is made entirely from casts of human ears and is equipped with a special underwater listening device which records reef sounds.
The museum receives about 750,000 guests annually.
