A stainless-steel cube standing in the lagoon, half in air and half underwater, with figures on its roof, in its walls and on the sand inside, the only sculpture gallery on earth you can walk, swim and dive in a single visit. Built 2018 by Jason deCaires Taylor as the world's first semi-submerged tidal gallery. Several human figures were removed by Maldivian authorities shortly after opening on religious grounds, the gallery you see today is the surviving, reworked version, which makes it the most politically charged piece in the genre. Anchorage: Lagoon anchorage off the resort, permission required. Hazards: No site-specific hazards noted, brief normally.
