Offbeat Traveler: The Cancun Underwater Museum

Cancun, Mexico, has a new tourist destination that combines sculptures and … snorkeling? The Cancun Underwater Museum, which opened Nov. 26, features 400 life-size concrete sculptures. It’s free, but visitors are recommended to go with tour operators. It took 18 months to turn 120 tons of cement and 1,100 pounds of silicone into the 400 sculptures, and then submerge them into an exhibition called “The Silent Evolution” in the waters off Isla Mujeres.
