MJ Honored With Sand Sculpture In Berlin

A shopping mall in Berlin (Germany) is hosting a sand sculpture tribute to Michael.

The impressive sand sculpture at the Hallen am Borsigturm tracks the various stages of Michael`s career, from his Jackson 5 days to the Thriller years to the HIStory era. Included is artwork from various album covers, MJ-related imagery mixed in with the forms of Michael and his brothers, a sign declaring Michael as "The King of Pop", and an image of Bubbles the Chimp. The centerpiece is Michael's form towering above the rest of the piece.

The entire structure consists of 200 tons (400,000 pounds) of sand. Artists started creating it July 20 and hope to finish it July 30. It is planned to become the largest indoor sand sculpture in the world.

Like many of the worldwide MJ memorials set up since his death, the sand sculpture has become a hub for fans who want to leave remembrances and mementos of his life and career.
