Simon Maltha

Simon Maltha is a small art gallery a short drive from Faaborg in the direction of Svendborg, just off the Margueritruten.

The setting makes it an easy, low-key diversion for motorists who want a brief cultural stop without heading into a busy town centre. It is generally accessible during daytime hours, making it suitable for a flexible road-trip schedule. Expect a compact visit centred on handmade pieces rather than a large, formal exhibition space.

Stop at Simon Maltha if you enjoy ceramic art and want to see animal and fable-inspired animal figures up close. It works well as a short cultural break between drives, without needing to plan around fixed time slots. Combine it with nearby nature or garden stops for a varied few hours off the route.

A simple, small ceramic gallery worth a brief stop if you like animal-themed sculpture.
