An introduction to the MOUA Underwater Museum of Art

穆阿水下藝術(shù)博物館簡介

The museum is located on the world-famous Great Barrier Reef, stretching along the northeast coast of Australia, consisting of 3,800 coral reefs and atolls across the Coral Sea. Together, they form the largest living structure on Earth. This is also a world-famous tourist destination, attracting divers, scientists and environmentalists.

博物館位于世界著名的大堡礁上，綿延于澳大利亞東北海岸，由橫跨珊瑚海的3800個珊瑚礁和環(huán)礁組成。它們一起形成了地球上最大的生物結(jié)構(gòu)。這里也是世界著名的旅游勝地，吸引著潛水者、科學家和環(huán)保人士。

Fine arts has found a new depth - literally - as the Southern Hemisphere's first underwater museum - MOUA welcomes visitors to the exhibition of the Coral Greenhouse in Townsville, Australia in August 2020.

美術(shù)已經(jīng)到達了一個新的深度——確切地說——作為南半球的第一個水下博物館，MOUA歡迎游客參觀2020年8月在澳大利亞湯斯維爾的珊瑚溫室展覽。

This non-profit work was done over a period of 3 years by British sculptor and environmental expert Jason deCaires Taylor, author of many underwater art works in Mexico, Lanzarote, Bahamas, Grenada...

這項非營利性的工作是由英國雕塑家和環(huán)境專家Jason deCaires Taylor歷時3年完成的，他在墨西哥、蘭薩羅特、巴哈馬群島、格林納達等地創(chuàng)作了許多水下藝術(shù)作品。

Constructed of corrosion-resistant stainless steel and pH-neutral cementitious compounds, the pieces of art also have a n environmental protection role, as the material will help stimulate the growth of natural corals. The sections here offer minimal resistance to wave energy, while providing an ideal surface for filter-eating organisms and fish to congregate. The artist also hopes that the MOUA could be a shelter for animals like sea urchins and octopus.

由耐腐蝕的不銹鋼和中性ph膠凝化合物構(gòu)成，這些藝術(shù)品還具有環(huán)保的作用，因為這些材料將有助于促進天然珊瑚的生長。這里的部分對海浪能量的阻力最小，同時為濾食生物和魚類聚集提供了理想的表面。藝術(shù)家還希望MOUA能成為海膽和章魚等動物的庇護所。

Completed last December, the undersea exhibit opens to divers in April 2020. It can be said that this place will evolve from an place for water sports to a special cultural experience unlike anywhere else in the world.

這個海底展覽于去年12月完成，并于2020年4月向潛水員開放?？梢哉f，這個地方將從一個水上運動的地方演變?yōu)橐粋€特殊的文化體驗，不像世界上其他任何地方。

The Coral Greenhouse is just one of the four galleries of MOUA. The Ocean Siren here - the only statue that can be seen on the water from the mainland of Townsville - is a stature depicting a native girl from Wulgurukaba named Takoda Johnson, 4m high. This statue features a system of LED that changes its color based on the water temperature of the Davies Reef, which represents the impact of climate change on ocean temperature, with a blue color indicating safety, while dark red is an important warning.

珊瑚溫室只是MOUA的四個畫廊之一。這里的海妖是湯斯維爾大陸上唯一能在水面上看到的雕像，是來自烏爾古魯巴的土著女孩高田·約翰遜的雕像，高4米。這個雕像的特點是一個LED系統(tǒng)，它會根據(jù)戴維斯礁的水溫改變顏色，代表氣候變化對海洋溫度的影響，藍色表示安全，而暗紅色表示重要的警告。

The MOUA Underwater Art Museum is expected to generate more than 42 million AUD each year and bring an additional 50,000 visitors to the area annually. Also, underwater museums are becoming more popular around the world. In December 2019, the ‘Living Museums in the Sea’ opened in the Dominican Republic. This museum offers divers a place to view preserved artifacts from shipwrecks.

穆阿水下藝術(shù)博物館預計每年將創(chuàng)造超過4200萬澳元的收入，每年將為該地區(qū)帶來5萬名游客。此外，水下博物館在世界各地越來越受歡迎。2019年12月，“海洋生活博物館”在多米尼加共和國開放。這個博物館為潛水員提供了一個觀賞沉船文物的地方。

Besides, in Jordan, divers can explore tanks, helicopters and more in the underwater military museum just off the coast of Aqaba. And in Bahrain, a Boeing 747 has been sunk to create an underwater theme park!

此外，在約旦，潛水員可以在亞喀巴海岸附近的水下軍事博物館里探索坦克、直升機和其他東西。在巴林，一架波音747被擊沉，用來建造一個水下主題公園!
