Tottori, Tottori / 鳥取砂丘 砂の美術館
The Sand Museum
An indoor museum showing sand sculptures, where you can see sand art of the highest level in the world. The theme changes every exhibition period, so each year's sand sculptures can be seen only that year; that fleeting quality is part of their beauty. From the glass windows on the 3rd floor and the outdoor plaza you can look over the Tottori Sand Dunes, and after sunset the sculptures are lit up.
