Explore the Museum of Underwater Art - Where Art meets the Reef

Dive into a stunning fusion of art, culture, and marine conservation at the Museum of Underwater Art (MOUA). Located in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef, MOUA is the first underwater art museum in the Southern Hemisphere, offering a one-of-a-kind experience for adventurers, art lovers, and eco-conscious explorers.

What Awaits You at MOUA?

MOUA’s breathtaking installations, created by world-renowned sculptor Jason deCaires Taylor, are designed to inspire, educate, and celebrate the beauty and importance of the reef:

  • Ocean Siren (The Strand, Townsville): This striking, interactive sculpture changes colour in response to real-time water temperatures, highlighting the urgent impacts of climate change.
  • The Coral Greenhouse (John Brewer Reef): A sunken masterpiece that serves as both art and a living reef, offering a new home for marine life to flourish.
  • The Ocean Sentinels: Located at John Brewer Reef, these sculptures celebrate marine science and the people working to protect our oceans. Inspired by real scientists, conservationists, and Indigenous leaders, the Sentinels combine art and purpose, forming a habitat for coral growth and marine species.

Why Visit MOUA?

MOUA isn’t just a museum—it’s an immersive underwater experience that brings together art, nature, and culture. Dive or snorkel through these incredible installations, where sculptures blend seamlessly with the reef, creating a thriving marine ecosystem and a powerful message of conservation.
