THE SAND MUSEUM

The Sand Museum is Japan’s only museum exhibiting sculptures made entirely of sand and offers a truly unique experience. Every year, world-class sand sculptors from all around the world are invited to carve artworks from the Tottori sand, in a special themed exhibit. The sculptures inevitably crumble away, offering the viewer a truly fleeting experience of this incredible, transitory art form.
