Zandverhalen: looking at form in sand

Zandverhalen in Elburg presents sand sculptures in covered halls. Biblical and historical scenes form the subject named, with figures, animals and landscape elements.

Plan your visit ↗

A material full of detail

Look at how sand has been worked into faces, clothing or surfaces. The interplay between large forms and small details gives a different viewing experience than simply recognising the story.

Scenes as imagination

The scenes depict subjects and are not direct evidence of historical events. You can pay attention to composition and execution, even if you do not know all the stories mentioned.

A route through the halls

Several halls together make up what is on offer. Plan the route at your own pace and allow for the last admission time, which falls before the site's closing time.

Before you go

Check the summer or winter schedule and any holiday dates. For mobility-related questions, ask about the route and the car parks at the entrance.
