Located in the centre of Sønderborg, this small gallery offers a warm, welcoming atmosphere where creativity thrives. Each corner holds unique creations that tell their own story and invite you to explore. You will immediately want to immerse yourself and be inspired by the many beautiful works.

Unique crafts in many forms

Galleri Mindedahl offers a wide selection of handmade works - around 80% of them are created by the gallery owner herself, local artist Sys Mindedahl, while the rest come from selected artists she collaborates with. The personal touch is evident in all the creations, which are made with great love for the craft and attention to detail. Here you will find, among other things:

Ceramics: Bowls, cups, vases and sculptures in unique designs

Paper art: Whimsical paper cuts and works of art cut from paper

Tufted works: Handmade tapestries and textile images in vibrant colours

Jewellery: Unique jewellery designed and made by hand

Hand-moulded candles: Atmospheric candles in good quality

All pieces are unique, carefully selected and made with care. So you can take a piece of Sønderborg's local art home with you - whether it's a beautiful ceramic bowl for the kitchen or a small piece of art to remember your visit.

Historical charm and Nordic atmosphere

The gallery is housed in an old, charming house on Rønhaveplads, whose crooked floors and historical details give the place plenty of soul and atmosphere. At the same time, the rooms are bright, cosy and stylishly decorated in Scandinavian style with clean lines and natural materials. The contrast between the rustic old house and the modern Nordic décor creates a very special atmosphere. It's easy to feel at home here - you might want to enjoy the scent of candles and just let the peace and quiet settle in while you look at the artworks. Gallery Mindedahl is a place where you can really feel the cosiness and immerse yourself in art in peaceful surroundings.

Close to the artist and the process

One of the highlights of a visit to Galleri Mindedahl is the close contact with the artist himself. In the adjacent workshop, you can often meet Sys Mindedahl in the process of creating new works. Visitors are welcome to watch, ask questions and get a unique insight into the process - from when the ceramics are cast in a multitude of moulds to when the kiln is emptied. This openness creates an intimate and personal experience where you as a visitor really feel the passion behind each piece. The welcoming atmosphere and dialogue with the artist make the visit inspiring and memorable. It's not just an exhibition, but a living workshop where creativity can be experienced up close.

Create your own unique souvenir

Are you looking for something special? At Galleri Mindedahl you have the opportunity to have customised orders made according to your own wishes. Together with the artist, you can help design your own ceramic piece - from shape and pattern to choice of glaze and colours. This unique opportunity to have a say means that you as a customer can get exactly the piece of art you dream of. The process takes place in close collaboration: your ideas and personal style are combined with Sys Mindedahl's professional expertise and creativity. The result is a personalised keepsake or gift that no one else can match. Being able to leave your mark on a handmade piece creates a very special joy - both for you as a customer and for the artist who loves turning your visions into reality.

For locals and tourists alike

Whether you live in Sønderborg or are visiting from out of town, Galleri Mindedahl is a great destination for anyone with an interest in unique crafts. Locals will find an inspiring place to explore new creations and perhaps have something customised for the home, while tourists can discover a piece of genuine local culture to take home in their suitcase. The gallery offers an authentic experience away from mass-produced souvenirs - here you get something genuine and handmade, created in Southern Jutland. At the same time, you will experience a personalised service where you are welcomed at eye level. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, so you can feel welcome even if you're just stopping by to enjoy the atmosphere.

Welcome inside

Gallery Mindedahl is more than a shop - it's an experience in itself. From the moment you step through the door of the quirky house on Rønhaveplads, you'll feel the passion and care that goes into each and every piece. Children and adults alike are mesmerised by the creative surroundings and there's always a new detail to discover. Stop by and experience the magic of handmade art: get inspired, have a chat with the artist and maybe you'll find that special memory you've been looking for.
