    this gallery have 2 locations, one in Solvang and the 2nd in Monterey. I went to the one in Solvang last Friday. The gallery features Czech glass art and the photographic arts of Michael Mendizza. Michael is an author, educator, documentary film maker and founder of Touch the Future (a non-profit organization). I love his photographic arts which one can truly appreciate in large scale. And the Czech glass exhibit by various artist are remarkable.

    Z Folio has an eclectic collection of Czech art glass and contemporary jewelry by American artisans. It is a delightful surprise where you can find items that are not found at the mall or other vacation spots. The sales staff are attentive and yet give you room to shop on your own if you wish. Make sure you look up from the jewelry and glass to enjoy to stunning pictures by Michael Mendizza. If you are on vacation and fall in love with one of the larger objects do not worry they ship anywhere in the world.

    Beautiful, unusual jewelry and tasteful gifts. The salespeople are very friendly. Liz, in particular, was personable, efficient and kind.

    The troll, we found this museum as we were exploring Solvang when we saw the gigantic wooden troll…read morewas pretty cool. I had to look it up on IG to find the others. There's a few to enter. They have several art paints, loved the bright colors. There's a se one floor where the hold workshops like origami and coloring. Great for adults a d kids. On the first floor there's a small art shop. The best part of my visit was the troll. I loved learning about the many there are.

    It was all so Lulu! Positively!…read more We came here specifically to meet Lulu Hyggelig Troll. She came to live here in Feb. 2025. Lulu loved the Danish Pastries so much she grew and grew. She lived in the tower and one day she couldn't fit through the tower door, so she was trapped inside here had to stay at the California Nature Art Museum. She's the first Dambo Troll to reside in CA permanently. Lulu is indeed living in the tower, the Michele Kuelbs Tower Gallery. In other pictures, there used to be a square pastry on the floor but it was gone when we visited on Jan. 17, 2026. Maybe Lulu was tempted for too long and finally ate it! The tower has huge windows and you can see Lulu from the outside. Since she's the only indoor troll in the world, you might as well go inside and pay the fee to join her up close! She's quirky! Lulu has an eyebrow ring and a super duper long tongue! Thomas Dambo singing his Lulu Hyggelig poem: https://www.facebook.com/reel/963616988684037 This is our third Dambo Troll we've seen. We went to see Isak Heartstone 2 in Breckenridge, CO and Rita the Rock Planter in Victor, CO. in 2025. This troll was created by Thomas Dambo, a Danish sculpture artist. There are over one hundred Dambo trolls in the U.S.A. and many more around the world. Lulu Hyggelig is Troll numbered 154. About this museum: The entrance fee was $7. I think they raised the price because they know that Lulu Hyggelig is quite the attraction. The museum is very small even though it is spread out on 3 floors. There wasn't a whole lot to see and part of the gallery was closed off. I think 45 minutes is ample time to see everything at a leisurely pace. The mosaic animal pictures were beautiful ... my favorites were the Otter, Wildlife (Carrizo Plain), & the Red-Eared Sliders. There's a huge Vulture filled with trash ... raising the awareness of how trash impacts wildlife. FIVE Stars for Lulu Hyggelig, the Thomas Dambo Troll and 3.5 for the art displays in the museum. Maybe if there wasn't a sectioned off portion of the museum, it would have offered more to view. *If you live in the Los Angeles, CA area or are planning to visit, there will be a temporary exhibit of 12 Thomas Dambo's Trolls at the South Coast Botanic Garden in March 2026. Buy your tickets!

    This is a great, albeit expensive, place to get some imported Danish products you won't find…read moreelsewhere. Just know that this place is often very full of inventory and crowds so it can get tough to walk around & shop. It won't be a casual shopping experience. Especially on weekends and summers. I came here mainly because I heard it was a great place to get old Lego minifigure bags. However, I was not expecting some of the older ones to go for up to $30 a bag! That's highway robbery. You can find opened ones online for a fraction of that price and when you do that, there's no need to guess if you are getting the one you want (or be surprised at all by what you're paying for). If you're looking for bags to keep sealed, this is a great option for you, but for someone like me who was just looking to get one or two to complete a series, this just wasn't priced right enough for me to pull the trigger. I did, however, purchase a single mini figure that's exclusive to a Danish store chain. Was it overpriced? Yeah. But not too high that I didn't feel like treating myself. Staff is very friendly and I saw them happily helping customers all throughout the shop. Customer service is great here. So rest assured if you have questions about inventory or if you want to try on something, there will be someone here to help you out quickly.

    A must stop shop when visiting Solvang! If you're looking for Pandora style jewelry and charms,…read morethis is the place to go. They carry a really cute Solvang charm, which makes a perfect souvenir or gift to remember your trip.

It was epic to witness. I've only ever seen items like this at the Getty. This is definitely a place you have to check out and plan to purchase from. I believe the pricing is fair because these are antiques that are made from scratch-- I mean everything is hand crafted. When you see something this nice, you would never want anyone to have a duplicate of it. It's so classy and the staff were incredibly kind. I believe this place is family-run, and it shows in how thoughtfully it's maintained. It felt inclusive and welcoming. Appointments are highly recommended, and this is not a space for children. I noticed they allow calm, well-behaved pets on leash or harness for private parties, which I appreciated. I first visited at 7 AM when they were closed just to admire the exterior, then came back around 12:30 PM to take it all in with better light. I fell in love with so many pieces and will absolutely be back once I have a home closer up north. This store is timeless beauty preserved and presented at its finest.

    This locations has some amazing pieces. The staff are attentive and it is always a treat to visit!…read moreI was able to schedule an appointment to come in and browse by calling the store.

We could literally hear her hurried foot steps coming towards us as soon as the other customers walked out (who were white). She also wasn't following them around the store. We did feel that this was discriminatory behavior and another similar yelp review proves it. It wasn't surprising to us since this had happened to us multiple times throughout the day in various shops around the area. Racism and discrimination seem to be a common theme in Solvang which is insane that there's still people like this. Must be the oldies with the same mindset that haven't died out yet. Oh and if the lady working here is so concerned with photography inside the gallery, you must not be doing your job correctly since pictures still ended up here on yelp meaning there were photos taken inside the gallery. Next time you want to tell a patron the rules of the store make sure customers of other races are being told the same, and be polite about it. Also there's a difference between taking photos and taking a video of me and my family reacting to the art. Not everyone steals someone else's artwork just because they recorded inside the gallery. Even if we were to purchase something, your condescending tone and you following us the way you did into the Disney gallery made us walk right out. And given what I've heard about Thomas Kinkade recently, I have no interest in purchasing his work. If you do choose to visit here - do NOT have your phone out for any reason unless you want to be stalked and scolded like a child by the raggedy old lady working here.
