This is an art museum on Prefectural Route 319 in Yuyama, Fukubecho, Tottori City where sand sculptures, sculptures carved from sand, are exhibited. Sculptures are produced and exhibited on differing themes each year under the concept of travel around the world in sand, such as “Renaissance in Italy” and “World Heritages in Asia”. The displays can only be appreciated during the exhibition as when the exhibition has finished the sculptures turn back into sand.

Review of The Sand Museum Baiten
TripAdvisor Traveler Rating飛行機の時間まで少し余裕があったので、鳥取砂丘を見に行き、その隣にある美術館にも行きました。
何の期待もせずに入った美術館。
入ってビックリ!
クオリティーが凄すぎて感動でした。
毎年、4月頃から1月まで開催しており、閉館中に次年度の作品を作るそう。
これは、来年も見たいと思えるくらいのクオリティーでした。
鳥取に行くならオススメのスポットです^ - ^
砂像の作り方や年間展示予定など美術館関係だけではなく、一般の観光案内もしていただけます。
広々とした土産ショップには、砂像・砂丘の関連グッズや鳥取の名産品が揃っており、テラス付近のテイクアウトコーナーでは、簡単な軽食もOK。
帰りのバス停「砂の美術館前」も直ぐです。

Tottori Areas

Tottori prefecture is Japanese seasonal diversity at its best: Huge sand dunes cover the north coast, making for the perfect summer beach trip complete with the unexpected addition of camels; November brings the delectable snow crab, while winter around Mount Daisen, the Chugoku region’s highest mountain, promises snow sports and magical views.
