TEFAF 2025 will be hosted between the 15th and 20th of March 2025. The Maastricht Exhibition & Congress Center (MECC) will host the event.
The European Fine Art Fair or TEFAF is the world’s leading fine art fair. Annually, the event has two editions. The first occurs in Maastricht, Netherlands, while the second is in New York, USA. The Maastricht edition extends over 7 millenniums of art history. The TEFAF art fair displays artworks in every fine art category. This includes antiques, Old Masters, contemporaneous paintings and others. Each artwork displayed at the event has undergone a stringent vetting process. The fair is among Maastricht’s leading ones. The fair takes place at the city’s premier venue, the MECC.
The TEFAF fair attracts many art & antique specialists. Such include artists looking for inspiration or to gain recognition and art lovers. It also features connoisseurs and specialists from institutes of fine art. The Maastricht TEFAF attracts more than 280 exhibitors and around 74 000 visitants. Attendees represent over 20 countries, including Japan, China, France, Italy, Brazil, Spain, the UK, and the USA.
TEFAF is a leading global fine art and antiques event with several goals. These include expanding the art knowledge of its attendees. Maastricht TEFAF also helps artists and dealers by providing an opportunity to gain recognition. It is also a platform for the purchasing of fine works of art.
The fair has a diverse program that it uses to achieve its goals. This includes the TEFAF Program, which features diverse lecture sessions. These allow networking with leading specialists in the global art community. Examples feature pre-eminent museum, art and antique professionals such as curators.

Good morning,
Thank you very much for your services. We were very satisfied with the hotel.
The only problem was the lack of parking - we had to use offsite car parks. We need to take this into account in our future arrangements.
Pozdrawiam / Best regards

Fantastic hotel placed in the city centre of Hannover. Very nice and very big and confortable rooms. Very good breakfast service too. Best hotel I never stayed in Hannover. We stayed there for profesional reasons and in the case to come to Hannover again, we will repeat!
Tom,
Thank you for all your help and support in organising a suitable hotel for our stay during the SPE Offshore Show 2015 I Aberdeen. It was ideally located for our weeks stay.
Megan Moore was grand to work with... We had on-off-on again hotel guests. She found the highest quality hotel at the lowest price for us in a popular Paris neighbourhood - 5 stars at 2 star prices! Megan also found some great deals for us in other tier one cities as well - low prices, high quality - during peak exposition times. Will certainly use her again!
Hello Megan,
Here is the feedback I got from the guests:
•Nice, clean rooms
•Breakfast OK
•Good parking facility
•Bar : no ice, red wine in fridge, white wine not chilled….
Very pleased with your services; always fast and to the point communication. Best regards, Heidi Van Haute Office Manager
Hi Jack,
The vicinity of the hotel was excellent and the people were friendly enough and the room was clean.
I did miss no air conditioning and there was only 1 power point which was nowhere near the desk which seemed strange.
The service from Jack was perfect and he kept me informed all the way so if I come across again I will use you guys again.
Regards,
Steve Turner

Tom and his team have been very helpful by finding a good hotel option close to the fair by train with affordable prices. Good job and let's keep in touch for the next fair
Dear George,
last week when we came back after Fairs was very busy and I did not replay when it comes to our stay.
We are pretty happy with our stay, rooms were spacious and clea, service was also good.
Although we have some reamarks:
1) Parking - we were staying 7 nights and each and every time when we need to leave parking we had to ask for the new parking card. They were not able to issue a card that opens the gate every time. That was inconvience for us, and they should change it.
2) Breakfast buffet - there was good chioce however not enough vegetables. There were only tomatos and cucumber, no green mix, radishes, bell pepper, we really missed that.
Service were relly nice and supportive.
Best regards,
Honorata Michalik

Thank you
Hello Tess,

Dear Tom,
We had a good stay. The hotel is clean and people are friendly and helpful but it is really very old fashioned! The furniture and decoration 1970, could become very fancy again in a few years maybe? I recommend to take your own body wash etc with you while theirs isn't good quality. Breakfast is very correct Have a nice day and I will certainly contact you again for a next fair.
Best regards
Martine Achy
