THE COOLEST THINGS OPENING IN AMERICA IN 2018
THRILLIST.com
Jan 2018
This year will see some flight-worthy new things to visit, including a provocative African-American history museum in Alabama, an underwater museum in Florida, and a new spy museum in New York. You don’t need to cross a body of water to take a phenomenal trip this year.
UNDERWATER MUSEUM OF ART
SOUTH WALTON, FLORIDA
Expected opening: Summer
Richmond may have the coolest new art museum in America ABOVE water. Underwater, though? That’s gonna be in South Walton, Florida, a beach community on the Gulf Coast known for its white sand beaches and artificial reefs. Its newest reef will be America’s first underwater sculpture garden, sitting 50 to 60 feet below the surface on an acre of seabed off Grayton Beach State Park. Seven sculptures will greet divers who visit, with names like Propeller in Motion, The Grayt Pineapple, and Amorphous Octopus. Five of the sculptures come from local artists, and JVC’s Dream is a collaboration between one of them, Kevin Reilly, and students from the local Montessori School.
