Maldives opens world's first intertidal art gallery
 Aviation & Tourism Us-Bangla airlines to resume Bangkok flight Biman’s 2nd dreamliner arrives Top 50 beaches around the world China offers visa on arrival for qualified Bangladeshis China opens luxury hotel in quarry The small town beauty of Switzerland Lonely planet ranks Bangladesh as best value destination for 3rd time Passengers ready for world's longest flight Thailand bay made famous by The Beach closed indefinitely
Published : 01 Aug 2018, 16:19:17 An intertidal art gallery, filled with around 30 sculptures acting as a habitat for coral and other marine species, was opened in the Maldives, national media reported.
The gallery, called the Coralarium, is located at the Fairmont Maldives Sirru Fen Fushi resort.
At a depth of 3 m in the lagoon, it features semi-submerged exhibits that disappear and reappear as the tide goes in and out.
Designed by British sculptor Jason de Caires Taylor, the installation was completed after nine months of work and will live as an evolving monument in the sea.
"It's almost like an inverse zoo. This is almost like we're the tourists, but we're in the cage and the marine life can come and go and look at us. It's almost a reversal of how we interact with wildlife," Taylor said.
The frame of the gallery is made of pH-neutral marine steel and designed to reflect the blue hues surrounding it. The creators said the artwork has been carefully crafted to encourage the settlement of wildlife, mimicking the organic forms found in the water.
Tourists can now combine snorkelling with art as guided tours led by the resort's resident marine biologists are available.
In the evening, a light system which illuminates the gallery attracts marine life and creates a sight from the island shore.-IANS
