Cosmonaut Yury Gagarin sculpture to first in the world underwater museum Leaders' Alley or Soviet Atlantis
Leaders' Alley or Soviet Atlantis This is the first underwater museum in the world - Leaders' Alley is now a museum more famous name: Soviet Atlantis, was founded in August 1992 in the Tarkhankut Cape, Black sea, Crimea When it comes to an underwater museum the majority of divers and people interested in this question think of the Park of underwater sculptures which was opened in 2006 near the Island of Grenada. But few people know that the Russian divers were the pioneers of the underwater museum business: there exists a not well-known underwater museum, the Leaders’ Alley, organized in the fairly cool Black Sea nearly 15 years earlier than the well-known museum in Granada, When the British sculptor and diver Jason de Caires Taylor was drowning his first sculptures in Monilinier bay near Granada shores he pursued two goals. They were to attract tourist and to create a substratum for the sea creatures to attach to: corrals, sponges and mollusks. The Tarkhankut underwater museum has an absolutely different background. To understand it better we have to go back to August 1992, when a diving instructor from Donetsk, Vladimir Borumenskiy, put the first bust under the water. Leaders' Alley - this is first-ever Underwater Museum.
