]]>Located 200 meters off the coast of Aiya Napa in the eastern part of Cyprus, MUSAN depicts an underwater world with a forest of trees, children at play, and other whimsical characters. Like all of deCaires Taylor’s work, MUSAN examines the impact of man on the natural world. Each sculpture is made from pH-neutral materials, so no harm is caused to the surrounding environment. In fact, the structures will provide shelter for marine life, as they will be covered in biomass over time.
“I firmly believe that Jason’s 93 artworks will be a haven for many sea creatures and will contribute to the development of biodiversity in the area,” said Marine Argyrou, director of the Department of Fisheries and Marine Research, in a statement to My Modern Met. In other words, this work of art will only get better as time goes by.

Although it is located in the heart of Western Europe, surrounded by three wonderfully touristy countries—Belgium, France, and Germany—Luxembourg remains one of the most unnoticed countries in Europe.
Those who do visit Luxembourg will discover a beautiful country, with an ancient capital city perched on a cliff, wooded hills, ancient castles, picturesque villages, green valleys, and a wine region with vineyards and wineries.
Those visiting Luxembourg can enjoy museums, nature walks, luxury hotels, and lots of attractions for children.
Amonf the best things to do with children are Luxembourg’s amazing parks, for which admission is free. We recommended spending some time in the “Merveilleux children Park”. The park has many attractions for the whole family, such as playgrounds, a fairytale forest, displays of exotic birds, a zoo, a pony farm, a miniature train, an indoor playground, mini-golf, and climbing facilities.
