Art Exhibition Merlet 2026 Recap

Back for an exciting new season, the art of Mart Krijger was exhibited at Restaurant Hotel Merlet in Schoorl. From July until October 4, 2026, visitors immersed themselves in a fresh, evolved collection displayed throughout the hotel lobby hallway and the corridor leading to the restaurants.

This year’s exhibition brought a mix of evolution and tradition. Visitors saw his signature style artworks like Koro Delft Blua: hearts made of Delft Blue porcelain and ceramic pieces. Also featured were various new series of artworks, such as a colorful diptych of organic, vertically shaped pieces made of intricate butterflies. The collection also featured a selection of unique pieces created in collaboration with Jeroen van de Wier.

To complement the exhibition, a special “Meet the Artist” event was organized. Visitors were welcome to meet Jeroen van de Wier and Mart Krijger, who shared their stories and inspiration behind their latest creations.
