When TEFAF comes to Maastricht, you feel it all over the city. Photo exhibitions, impressive exhibits, international lectures and on and on. Sophisticated art connoisseurs come together and curious visitors can see and buy special treasures on display here. Across the city, you will find all kinds of activities, exhibitions and dinners as part of TEFAF. Pull up a chair, join in and experience the international allure TEFAF brings to Maastricht.

Heritage Unlocked

During Heritage Unlocked, you will have the chance to discover Maastricht University's heritage. In this anniversary year, the university is celebrating its 50th anniversary. The thematic tours are specially organised in collaboration with TEFAF and give a look at locations that are normally not freely accessible. Official guides will take you past places where history, art and contemporary education come together. Choose from two routes: Historic Maastricht starting at the Dinghuis or Modern Campus Randwyck starting at the MECC.
