Tottori Sand Dunes Sand Museum
Ephemeral, delicate world depicted with sand.
The world’s first museum, curating sand creations. It is produced by Katsuhiko Chaen, who was selected as “100 Most Respected Japanese People.” He invites sand sculptors from all over the world to display sand sculpture at the global top level.
The theme changes each year. After the exhibition period, the sculptures are all leveled, unavailable any other time. To be gentle to the environment, the policy bans glue and the intricate sculptures are all made from the sand and water alone. See for yourself the creations as if they are about to move!
Around the theme “Travel around the World in Sand,” northern Europe, Asia, Czech and Slovak, etc. were used as a theme in the past. Taking photos of sand sculptures is permitted.

每個作品都是創作者費勁心力打磨雕刻出來,沒有親到現場無法感受沙丘美術館的震撼力。
