Summary/Abstract: The different visuality of the photographs published on the finds of underwater archaeologists can be considered to be one of the forerunners of a proliferating underwater museum today. The underwater museum was built by Jason DeCaires Taylor about ten years ago. Taylor's first underwater sculpture garden on the coast of the Grenada islands in the Atlantic Ocean was followed by the first underwater museum called "MUSA", which Mexico carried out near Cancun city in 2009. Taylor pioneered the acquisition of a new field of sculpture museum, which he formed by taking molds from living models made up of local people and presenting the sculpture of today. In this article, the underwater museum will be evaluated as an alternative display space for today's sculpture art, and other examples in the world will be examined. At the same time, The Side Underwater Museum will be examined with his conceptual and technical deficiencies and suggestions will be made to overcome these deficiencies.
