This summer at the Land of Israel Museum: Tales in the Sand, 15 lifelike sculptures of characters from the biblical Samson to Alice in Wonderland.

Queen of Sheba & King Solomon

Tel Aviv’s Land of Israel Museum took 700 tons of Israel’s most plentiful natural resource – sand – and asked international sand sculptors to create exacting likenesses of super-heroes, storybook figures and Bible greats.

Organized by the Sand Sculpture Academy of Holland, the works are on display throughout the summer. You can catch a sneak preview here.
