From February 7 to March 27, 2026 Harm Mouw (1958) exhibits ceramics and paintings in Café Bern. Harm is a neighbor, because he has his studio across the Nieuwmarkt, in Koestraat.

Feel free to drop by. Between 4 and 6 p.m. in the afternoon you can come and see the exhibition ar your ease. Or in the evening after 11 p.m., when the biggest crowds are over and a wonderfully relaxed “after hours” atmosphere has descended over Café Bern.

Below you can see some images directly from Harm’s studio and you can already get an impression of some of the exhibited works.
