About the Event
Antalya Sandland – Sand Sculpture Museum
SANDLAND is an impressive open-air museum located on Antalya’s world-famous Lara Beach, showcasing hundreds of giant sand sculptures. Held since 2006, this special event is among the largest and most prestigious sand sculpture organizations in the world.
Spanning an area of approximately 7,000 square meters, the sculptures crafted using 10,000 tons of river sand are shaped by international artists. Created using only sand and water, these colossal sculptures offer visitors both a breathtaking visual feast and an extraordinary artistic experience.
This Year's Theme: Space Adventure and Time Travel
In 2026, Sandland invites its visitors to a unique journey of discovery under the theme "Space Adventure and Time Travel". Humanity's journey into space comes to life once again in sand through many pivotal figures and concepts such as Leonardo Da Vinci, Galileo Galilei, Laika, Yuri Gagarin, Neil Armstrong, Mars colonies, planets, and futuristic space technologies.
The exhibition also features works inspired by unforgettable sci-fi productions such as Star Wars, Star Trek, Avatar, Wall-E, and more. Thus, Sandland offers an impressive experience appealing to all ages, for space enthusiasts and art lovers alike.
A Delightful Experience for All Ages
Sandland is not just an exhibition space, but also an entertaining and educational discovery center. Thanks to sections designed specifically for children, teenagers, and adults, visitors both learn and have a wonderful time.
Visitors enjoy the advantage of being able to visit the museum twice on the same day with their admission ticket. The sculptures viewed under natural daylight take on a completely different atmosphere in the evening with special LED illuminations. Thus, two distinct experiences can be enjoyed with a single ticket.
The Sand Sculpture Museum is open to visitors every day between 09:00 and 21:00.
Free Telescope Observation
One of the most remarkable experiences at Sandland is the free astronomical observations. Thanks to the powerful telescopes available at the museum, visitors have the chance to observe the Moon’s craters, Saturn’s rings, and Jupiter up close. This experience creates unforgettable memories, especially for children and families.
