MUSA, short for Museo Subacuático de Arte, is an underwater museum located off the coast of Cancun and Isla Mujeres.

MUSA was initiated by Dr. Jaime González Cano, director of the National Marine Park, and Roberto Díaz Abraham, then president of the Cancun Nautical Association. Their vision was to provide a sustainable solution to the damage caused by human activity and hurricanes on coral reefs. Since its inception, the museum has grown into a world-renowned ecological and artistic attraction.
