Mexico, are you ready? Jason de Caires Taylor is preparing tourists for 'Silent Evolution.' I, for one, am not prepared. An [underwater museum](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dubai-museum-of-art) off the coast of Cancun sounds like an awesome idea. Tourists won't have a chance to destroy the [natural coral reefs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-tropical-aquarium), and over time, 'Silent Evolution' will eventually become its own coral reef.
