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 colossal sand sculptures. Organized since 2006, this special event ranks among the world's largest and most prestigious sand sculpture organizations.
Spread across an area of approximately 7,000 square meters, the artworks are sculpted by international artists using 10,000 tons of river sand. Created using only sand and water, these gigantic 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 with the theme "Space Adventure and Time Travel". Humanity's voyage into space comes to life again in sand through many pivotal figures and concepts, including Leonardo Da Vinci, Galileo Galilei, Laika, Yuri Gagarin, Neil Armstrong, Mars colonies, planets, and futuristic space technologies.
The exhibition also features works inspired by iconic science fiction productions such as Star Wars, Star Trek, Avatar, Wall-E, and more. Sandland thus offers an impressive experience appealing to all ages, catering to space enthusiasts and art lovers alike.
A Delightful Experience for All Ages
Sandland is not merely an exhibition ground; it is also a fun and educational discovery center. Thanks to sections specially curated for children, teenagers, and adults, visitors learn while having a wonderful time.
Visitors have the advantage of being able to visit the museum twice on the same day with their admission ticket. The sculptures viewed in natural daylight take on a completely different atmosphere in the evening with special LED illumination. Thus, you can enjoy two distinct experiences with a single ticket.
The Sand Sculpture Museum is open to visitors every day between 09:00 and 22:00.

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 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.
