TEFAF Maastricht
TEFAF Maastricht takes place Mar 13 - 18, 2027 (invitation-only preview days precede public opening) in Maastricht, Netherlands. The dress code is Smart or elegant daywear; jackets are the norm and the preview is decidedly dressy. Typical cost ranges from 300 to 1200 EUR per person.
The European Fine Art Fair is the world's premier fair for art, antiques and design, famed for rigorous vetting and Old Masters of museum quality.

How to attend
Open to the public with day tickets (roughly 50 - 80 euros depending on day, student discounts available) sold online and at the MECC; multi-entry passes exist for repeat visits. The preview days are invitation-based. Book ahead for opening weekend, which draws the biggest crowds.
Tickets for the 2027 Maastricht fair are not on sale yet - TEFAF's ticket shop currently only sells for its New York edition, and the Maastricht ticket page reappears closer to the March fair.
Insider tip
Go on a weekday morning later in the run: dealers have time to talk and museum-quality pieces are still on the walls after the opening-weekend buying frenzy - and yes, the oyster-and-champagne stands are part of the ritual.
