Underwater Museum

Hy-Brasil was first shown on sea charts in 1325 to the west of Ireland, described as a small round island veiled in fog only appearing for one day every seven years. The legend says a single lone sorcerer resides on the island, shrouded in mystery and uncertainty the quest for the phantom Island has never had a conclusion; until now. Follow the exhibition to discover the mystical world of Hy- Brasil.

The museum is separated into three principal zones, following a diving route.

Mayo North East LEADER Manager, James Golden said: “This study is hopefully just the starting point for bringing this project to fruition. The development of an underwater museum will not only have significant environment and water conservation benefits but will also draw tourists to the area”.
