VietNamNet Bridge - An exhibition of sand sculptures opened on June 12, on the beach of Nha Trang city, in the central province of Khanh Hoa, as part of the Nha Trang Sea Festival 2011.


On display were sculptures created by more than 40 artists, designed to promote environmental awareness and sea protection.

"We hope the exhibition will make people think about protecting the environment, as well as give tourists something interesting to look at," said Ho Hoang Oanh, director of GTO Media Corporation, the event organizer.

"The sculptures are incredible. I hope they inspire people to join hands to protect our environment," she said.

Adjacent to the sand sculptures is a display of installation art, also on the theme of environmental awareness, using materials such as straw, sea shells and nylon.
