Tottori Sand Dunes Sand Museum
Art Museum
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.

- The Tottori Sand Dunes were beautiful.
- The sand sculptures are said to be changed once a year. When I went there, they were doing an Egyptian exhibition. The process of making the sculptures was well described, and it was wonderful to see...

- 「定番」以外の鳥取みやげを求めたい方にも
- 11月に友人をこちらに案内しました。砂の美術館と同じ敷地内にあるので、美術館の見学後にこちらに立ち寄ることも可能です。売店のスペースはそこそこ広く、鳥取の土産物だけでなく美術館の砂像に関連したものも結構そろっています。砂丘入口にあるお土産物屋さんとは品揃えも違っているので、「定番」ではない鳥取のみやげものを求めたい方にもオススメです。

- 感動的な作品
- 仕事で鳥取県に行きました。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^ - ^
