The Sand Museum (砂の美術館, Suna no Bijutsukan) first opened by the Tottori Sand Dunes, in Tottori, Japan, in 2006, displaying sand sculptures in temporary facilities. In 2012, it reopened in what is said to be the world's first permanent indoor exhibition space dedicated to sand art, with works by fifteen international sculptors.[1]
