Local tips
- Plan your visit for Friday to Sunday between late morning and afternoon, as these are the regular opening days and hours; outside these times you may need to arrange in advance.
- Set aside extra time to talk with the artists about techniques and commissions; many visitors end up ordering custom jewelry based on pieces they see in the showcases.
- Combine the gallery stop with a short walk in the nearby countryside of Falster to better appreciate the landscape that often inspires the works on display.
- Bring a small notebook or take photos of labels so you can remember titles and series if you later decide to inquire about a particular artwork or piece of jewelry.
- If you are sensitive to crowds, aim for early opening hours on weekend days, when the atmosphere is usually at its quietest and most contemplative.

Car from Nykøbing Falster
From Nykøbing Falster, driving to Galleri Arleth typically takes about 25–35 minutes, depending on traffic and weather. The route follows main and regional roads across Falster’s countryside, with generally light traffic outside holiday peaks. There is usually free roadside or courtyard-style parking near the gallery, but space is limited and larger vehicles may need to park slightly further away. Fuel costs for the return journey are modest; expect roughly 40–70 DKK in fuel expenses with a standard car at current prices.
-
Regional bus and short walk from Horbelev
It is possible to reach the area by regional bus from Nykøbing Falster to Horbelev or a nearby village, with journey times around 35–50 minutes depending on the route and connections. A single adult ticket on regional buses in this part of Denmark typically costs about 25–40 DKK. From the closest stop you should be prepared for a country-road walk, which can take 15–25 minutes on mostly flat terrain without dedicated pavements. Services run less frequently on weekends and in the evening, so check timetables and allow extra time for transfers.

Art and craftsmanship in a Falster farmhouse
Galleri Arleth occupies a traditional rural property at Strandhuse 9 near Horbelev on the island of Falster, transforming a former farmhouse into a combined gallery and working studio. Inside, whitewashed rooms and rustic details provide a calm backdrop for contemporary art, objects and jewelry. The space feels personal rather than institutional, with the owners’ own work taking center stage and changing thematic exhibitions adding new energy over the seasons. The gallery has been a fixture on Falster’s art scene since 1990, when Anette and Michael Arleth established it as both exhibition venue and workshop. Over the years they have developed a recognizable universe of forms and motifs, showcased here in a setting that encourages slow looking and quiet conversation.Jewelry shaped by bodies and stories
A key focus at Galleri Arleth is handmade jewelry designed and crafted on site. Pieces are often described as being inspired by personal artworks and the human body, translating lines and curves from drawings and sculpture into rings, necklaces and brooches. Surfaces may be textured or oxidized, with subtle contrasts between metals giving each object depth and tactility. Rather than following fashion, the jewelry leans toward sculptural, wearable art. Visitors can examine works in display cases or discuss commissions and custom adjustments directly with the goldsmith. For many, the appeal lies in leaving with something that connects directly to the artists’ wider practice, rather than a mass-produced accessory.Contemporary works and recurring themes
Beyond jewelry, the gallery presents paintings, graphic works and sculptural pieces, often by the Arleths themselves and occasionally by carefully selected guest artists. Themes tend to circle around nature, movement and the tension between fragility and strength. Color palettes range from muted earth tones to brighter accents, depending on the current exhibition. Because the venue is relatively compact, each work has room to breathe. Light from windows and simple spotlights creates a gentle atmosphere where you can appreciate small details: a brushstroke, a cast texture, a line of engraving. Seasonal exhibitions, including a winter or Christmas show, give regular visitors fresh reasons to return and see how ongoing series have evolved.Rural setting and relaxed visiting rhythm
The surroundings are part of the experience. Galleri Arleth sits in the countryside of Halskov Vænge on Falster, close to fields, forest and low, wide skies. Approaching the gallery, you leave main roads behind and enter a slower rhythm, which suits a visit focused on art and craft. The building’s garden and outdoor areas underline the sense of visiting a home as much as a gallery. Opening hours concentrate on Friday, Saturday and Sunday during the day, turning weekends into the natural time to drop by. The pace is unhurried; you can easily explore the exhibition, talk with the owners about techniques and materials, and still have time left in your day for a walk or another stop on Falster.Meeting the makers behind the work
One of the distinctive aspects of Galleri Arleth is the close contact with the artists themselves. Anette and Michael are often present in the gallery, ready to explain processes, show how a piece was constructed or share the ideas behind a series. This direct dialogue gives added depth to the objects on display, whether you are a seasoned collector or simply curious about how contemporary jewelry and art come into being. The combination of gallery, studio and rural home makes Galleri Arleth feel approachable and human-scale. It is a place where art is integrated into everyday life: tools on a bench, a new work in progress, finished pieces in the showcases and, beyond the windows, the Falster landscape that quietly influences much of what happens inside.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
