TEFAF Maastricht: plan your visitWhat is TEFAF Maastricht?
TEFAF Maastricht is the annual fair for fine art, antiques and design run by The European Fine Art Foundation at MECC Maastricht in the Netherlands. The 2027 edition is open to the public from 13 to 18 March, after two invitation-only preview days. It spans what the organiser calls 7,000 years of art, from antiquities to contemporary work, and it is in this directory because its vetting, rather than its size, is what sets it apart.
Who goes to TEFAF Maastricht?
Collectors, museum curators and directors, dealers and advisers, with the institutional and private-collector audience concentrated on the invitation-only Early Access and Collectors Preview days. From the Saturday the fair is open to anyone with a ticket, which is when it draws its broader art-loving public.

What to know before booking TEFAF Maastricht
Every object for sale is examined before the fair opens by around 200 experts in 30 specialist vetting committees, checking condition, quality and authenticity. That process is why serious buyers trust what is on the stands, and it also makes the fair worth visiting for anyone who simply wants to see museum-quality work up close, without any intention of buying.
TEFAF Maastricht parties and side events
The fair week brings dealer dinners, collector receptions and private events in Maastricht and the surrounding region, almost all by invitation. Grand Circle organises none of it and sells no tickets or hospitality for TEFAF Maastricht.

Where to stay for TEFAF Maastricht
