THE SAND MUSEUM

The world’s first museum dedicated entirely to sand sculptures has been welcoming visitors for the past 10 years, providing an additional must- see attraction on the edge of the Tottori Sand Dunes. Measuring in at 1,950 square meters, the Sand Museum is helmed by executive producer Chaen Katsuhiko, a prominent and highly respected Japanese sand sculptor who has won international competitions. As Chaen invites top sand sculptors from all over the world to work on the exhibitions with different themes each year, even repeat visitors will find something new to admire. This year’s theme is “America” – with delicate and spectacular sand sculptures of the Statue of Liberty, the New York skyline, Mount Rushmore, and more.
