The Atlantic Museum is the first submarine museum in Europe, under the seabed of the bay of Las Coloradas in Lanzarote.

The Atlantic Museum project is being promoted by the Canary Islands and has been designed for the preservation and conservation of the flora and fauna of the marine environment. The sculptures are placed in sets and represent 15% of a total area of 2500 sq. mtrs, forming a large artificial reef.

When the museum is ready, your trip to the Atlantic Museum is a must see, apart from all the other excursions in Lanzarote.
