Underwater museum for Egypt / Jacques Rougerie

clipped from www.archdaily.com By David Basulto — Filed under: Museums and Libraries , Egypt Architect Jacques Rougerie -an expert when it comes to space and underwater structures- has designed the soon-to-be first underwater museum. It will be located off the coast of Egypt, near the new Library of Alexandria, where Cleopatra once had a palace on an island in one of the largest human-made bays in the world back in the day, submerged by earthquakes in the 4th century.
