The indoor facility for this museum of art located at the Tottori Sand Dunes was first opened in 2012, The attraction doubtedly lies in the high level of artistic skill carefully carved into the finest detail within these massive works of art. Within a space that is as huge as a gymnasium, some of the sand sculptures soar above the 2nd-floor sightseeing passage, and they are incredible for their delicacy and dynamic design. The carving techniques for the statues involve lumps of sand that have only been hardened by water. Since the ingredient is sand, there is always the danger of collapse right from during construction to after completion so one of the charms is the beauty that is within that transience. After sunset, the facility is illuminated so you can get a view of the sculptures that differs from the daytime. In 2014, 3D projection mapping was initiated so that from twilight and into the evening, the spectacular sand sculptures even just under normal lighting along with the images and sounds create a magical atmosphere.
