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 artworks are shaped by international artists using 10,000 tons of river sand. Created using only sand and water, these colossal sculptures offer visitors both an impressive visual feast and an extraordinary art experience.
This Year's Theme: Space Adventure and Time Travel
In 2026, Sandland invites visitors on a unique exploration under the theme "Space Adventure and Time Travel." Humanity's journey into space comes back to life in sand through numerous key 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 artworks inspired by unforgettable science fiction productions such as Star Wars, Star Trek, Avatar, Wall-E, and more. Thus, Sandland offers an impressive experience catering to all ages, appealing to both space enthusiasts and art lovers alike.
A Delightful Experience for All Ages
Sandland is not just an exhibition area, but also a fun and educational discovery center. Thanks to special sections curated for children, teenagers, and adults, visitors both learn and have an enjoyable time.
Visitors enjoy the advantage of visiting the museum twice on the same day with their admission ticket. The sculptures seen 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 for visits 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 within the museum, visitors have the opportunity to observe the craters of the Moon, the rings of Saturn, and Jupiter up close. This experience creates unforgettable memories, especially for children and families.
