Maastricht is where TEFAF, The European Fine Art Fair, takes place every year. The city is compact, has international allure and is situated on the river Meuse. Maastricht has its own international airport nearby called Maastricht-Aachen Airport, an international train station and excellent major road networks connecting Maastricht to the rest of the Netherlands and to surrounding countries.

Maastricht is one of the oldest cities in the Netherlands with many sights to see, both above ground and below. Its numerous excellent restaurants make the city a real culinary treat.

The Official TEFAF Maastricht guide contains general information about TEFAF as well as Maastricht and the surrounding areas in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. There is no better way to guide you through TEFAF, Maastricht and its surrounding areas than with the help of expert guides, each of whom have an interesting story to tell. In addition a list can be found at the back with hotels, restaurants, shops, museums and other interesting places.

The Official TEFAF Maastricht guide will not only help you to design your own, personal program during your stay in Maastricht, but also give you insight into what the region of South Limburg and the adjacent areas in Belgium and Germany have to offer.

4 5 THE EURopEAn FInE ART FAIR (TEFAF),

which will be held in the Dutch city of Maastricht from 18 - 27

March 2011, is one of the most influential art and antiques events

in the world. It is constantly changing and improving to strengthen

its already pre-eminent position in the international market.

Founded in 1988, TEFAF Maastricht is now the world’s leading art and antiques fair. Last year 75,000 people from all over the world visited the Fair, including curators from over 225 major museums in Europe and North America along with leading international collectors. During the event, 190 private planes landed at Maastricht airport.

In 2011, some 260 leading dealers from 17 countries will exhibit art and antiques worth over 1 billion euros and sell paintings, drawings, prints, sculpture, classical antiquities, illuminated manuscripts, jewellery, textiles, porcelain, design, silver and other works of art. They will range from 3,000 year-old antiquities to contemporary works.

The art dealers belong to the most important representatives of their genre. Almost all art forms imaginable are represented at TEFAF. The variety and depth of the art on offer at TEFAF Maastricht is, without doubt, unique. Nowhere in the world can you choose from so many works by, for example, Picasso or antique furniture or 17th century Old Dutch and Flemish Masters.

THE VISIToRSTEFAF is a real experience for any art lover. TEFAF is the place for ‘discoveries’ by museum directors and for long-searched-for additions to private collections. It is also the place to find elegant objects to grace your home and gifts with history. The fair contains a great deal of knowledge within its walls, along with ideas and material for

6 7comparison. At TEFAF, it is possible to imagine that you are in a museum with a versatile art collection that may very well become your own.

DIVERSITY oF ART WoRKSTEFAF acquired fame with its Old Masters, but there is much more. For example, an impressive selection of modern and contemporary art, offering a complete cross-section of the 20th and 21st century. Approximately one hundred stands offer a spectrum of applied art, such as Oriental art, textiles, European and Asian furniture, glass, porcelain and silver, jewellery and coins, ethnographic objects from Africa, South-America and Oceania, Egyptian art, Roman and Greek classical antiquities, Medieval sculptures, manuscripts and maps. nEW SECTIonSTEFAF Showcase is an initiative to promote talented young dealers who will be given the chance to present themselves on a strictly one-off basis in a special pavilion. In 2009 TEFAF Design, consisting of eight renowned galleries specialised in 20th century design, was added to the fair. In 2010 “TEFAF on Paper “ was the next addition to the fair. It included drawings and limited edition prints ranging from Old Masters to contemporary works, photography, antiquarian books, English watercolours and Japanese prints.

STRICT VETTInGMore than 168 international experts evaluate each object for quality, authenticity and condition so that visitors can purchase the art on offer with confidence. TEFAF Maastricht was the first art and antiques fair to introduce strict vetting procedures. They are still considered the most stringent in the world. Moreover, the Art Loss Register ensures that no listed stolen objects will be offered for sale.

and is chairman of the Executive Committee of TEFAF. He

directs the daily course of affairs and presides over meetings.

The Executive Committee presents new ideas for TEFAF and

determines the direction in which TEFAF continues to develop.

“TEFAF has developed and reached its physical limit. This means that TEFAF cannot expand by means of, for example, the introduction of new sections as in past years. We need to consolidate what we now have and adapt it. For example, making the ‘TEFAF on paper’ section we introduced last year more prominent. We will make it more dynamic and will organise a special exhibition for it the coming year. There have also been some changes in the ‘Old Master Paintings’ section.

The clichéd view of dealers in fine art is that they are stuffy and old fashioned. TEFAF plays an important role in showing people that it does not have to be that way. As a (commission and) committee we are very concerned with presentation. This has to be, to a certain degree, modern and dynamic. We want TEFAF to be spectacular and to look great. We owe it to the visitor that they become inspired and think, “It could look like this at home.”

We need to take a closer look at whether we can incorporate a number of further disciplines that are currently not represented. It is clear that there are a number of gaps in Antiques and Works of Art in terms of disciplines and subjects not yet represented. For example, TEFAF currently has no dealers in Islamic art or glass. We have hardly any Japanese art or antique musical instruments and we are poorly represented in terms of antique textiles. There are many more world-wide categories that we do not have. On the other hand, there are many disciplines that are generously represented, and so we need to see how the balance can be redressed.

TEFAF Design was launched the first year with an exhibition by Jachtslot St. Hubertus, which is situated in the (Dutch) National Park the Hoge Veluwe. However, as design takes up so much space, it outgrew the newly added floor. Design now has its place on the ground floor and organising a special exhibition is not a priority for us. This is, however, important for ‘TEFAF on paper’ as it is not yet well-known. As it is on the first floor, we want to create more traffic and make it more dynamic. We distributed a questionnaire to participants, asking them whether they would prefer to stay upstairs or move downstairs. It showed that the majority preferred to stay upstairs as the atmosphere is so intimate and unique. Not all 70,000 visitors are serious collectors; some interested parties just come and have a look. People who visit a section like ‘Works on Paper’ are really seriously interested in it. Following the results of the survey we decided to really make more of it. One aspect of this is a special exhibition which will be sensational. In addition, access to the section will be more prominent, catering will be extended and the academic characteristics will be maintained.

One department that I have sought to promote is the section for young dealers: the Showcase. This new group of dealers consists of young and enthusiastic people. The criteria are that they must have been in

We are looking forward to the 25th anniversary in 2012, which we plan to mark and celebrate extensively. I cannot say too much about that at the moment. Only that we are busy working on three fronts. Firstly, we want to do something special for the city and people of Maastricht. TEFAF has been good for Maastricht, but Maastricht has also been good for us. We want to recognise and mark this. The second front is that we want to do something for the top collectors and the people who have faithfully returned to Maastricht each year. And thirdly, we want to do something for the participants. Especially for those who have been taking part for so long. We plan to mark the anniversary in a number of unique ways and I am certain that it will be clear across the entire city of Maastricht that 2012 is not just any birthday, but a very special TEFAF year.

I believe that innovation is a good thing, but you do not need to constantly revamp things to come up with something new. We have built up a fair over 25 years that has come to be seen as the best in the world. Consolidating such a position is an art in itself. There are art fairs in London, Paris and America that try to imitate TEFAF in their own way. This means we have to keep an eye on the competition, it is not enough to say that ‘we are the best in the world, so we do not have to do anything.’ On the other hand, you could say, ‘If it ain’t broke don’t fix it’. There is no need to make too many changes to something that works really well already. It is a question of striking the right balance. In this regard, it is better not to create a new section as people may become used to this happening and if, at a certain moment, it does not occur they think that the fair is not doing very well, while it is actually doing brilliantly. One of the things we need to look into is what improvements can be made to the inherent quality of TEFAF. We have been very strict about this, this year. There is a huge waiting list of dealers wishing to take part and so we can allow ourselves a thing or two.

20 21the business for more than three but less than ten years and that they have reached a appropriate quality level. This brings keen, original participants who would not normally have the means to take part in an exhibition like TEFAF. The participants come up with amusing, fresh ideas and disciplines with a young and dynamic feel. Seeing the applications that we have received up to now, I am sure that in the coming year we will have a very different Showcase than the last. It is amazing that a number of those participants have been chosen to be part of the fair permanently. I can recommend the Showcase wholeheartedly, although it is perhaps more challenging to fi nd as it is at the back of the hall.

TEFAF is an event that you cannot and should not miss. If you have not attended, you will not be regarded as a serious collector. Compared with 25 years ago, the profi le of the visitor has changed from the curious visitor to an antique fair into the serious collector or museum representative required to go to Maastricht because they simply could not NOT go. I have seen a distinct change during the last 25 years. These days you see every important collector in the world attending the opening of TEFAF. During the fi rst few days, there is a huge international public; then it becomes more local with Dutch, Belgian, German and French visitors.

We work towards maintaining a democratic policy when it comes to visitors. Everyone should have the same opportunities. The millionaire collector queues up in the same way as the small dealer who enjoys visiting the fair without even intending to buy anything. Other fairs do not take this approach; they have VIP packages, hold previews, pre-previews and professional previews. That is not what we want; an opening is just that, even though the opening has been by invitation only in the last few years. The opening has been given a more exclusive character, but it also has to do with the numbers we have to deal

with. It can be a problem with over 10,000 visitors on the opening day. That is more visitors than most fairs deal with during their entire run. However, even those special guests are not allowed in before 12 o’clock. We are very strict about this.

Anyone visiting TEFAF for the fi rst time might think that they can see the fair in just a couple of hours. But TEFAF is so big and there is so much to see, that it is defi nitely worth taking a couple of days to visit TEFAF and to enjoy everything at your leisure. It is important for us to communicate this and in addition, to inform visitors of all there is to see. We have various formulas for tours of TEFAF. We have traditional and themed tours. Last year’s real success was ‘Dealers’ Choice’, in which the dealers talked about what they considered important on their stand. Visitors love to hear an expert talk about their own subject. So we plan to continue this and to develop it. A development that will illustrate that TEFAF is modern despite being about art, antiques and antiquities.”

Euregions in Europe. It has a vast history that stretches further back

than that of the netherlands. The Romans brought civilisation to

the area, which only reached the rest of the netherlands centuries

later. Following the Romans, Charlemagne had a huge impact on

the region, particularly in terms of the area’s political foundations.

Many other great Europeans followed leaving behind traces of

their presence, including Charles V, the Spanish oppressors,

the Austrian Emperor and later Emperor napoleon, who had a

particularly strong infl uence on this region”.

The Euregion and its enormous diversityYour guide: Léon Frissen, Governor of the Province of Limburg

These words are spoken by Governor Léon Frissen, in his offi ce within the Limburg Provincial Government Building in Maastricht with its fabulous view across the slowly meandering Meuse river. This waterway serves to connect the various countries within the region. It is a symbol of Limburg and the Euregion’s position. “The area has a great amount of economic activity. You might even say that industry was born here; with Verviers and Liège being the fi rst cities to experience mass industry and development. Maastricht, in particular, was also infl uenced by this development with companies such as Sphinx and Mosa.

In brief, there are three historical foundations of vital importance: art, ancient civilisation and industry. Then there is, of course, education, which has enjoyed a long tradition here. The engineering course is one of the oldest and best in Europe. RWTH Aachen University is as large as the universities in Delft, Twente and Eindhoven combined. The engineering tradition was also of great signifi cance to industrial development.

Art education came later to Maastricht. Maastricht is a city in which art education in particular was, and still is, a driving force for development within education. This drive is provided by such institutions as the Maastricht Academy of Music, The Theater Academy (de toneelacademie), The City Academy (de stadsacademie) and The Architectural Academy (de bouwacademie). They play a vital role within the Hogeschool Zuyd. These engineering and art studies are offered within Bachelor degree study, which link to cultural sciences at the University of Maastricht. Further consideration is being given to bringing these studies together into a sort of ‘Quartier des Arts’.

We need to present ourselves as strong contenders in order to be able to match the competition in other Euregions such as Barcelona,

Limburg is readying itself once again to welcome TEFAF to its capital city, Maastricht.”

”

24 25Valencia, Munich, Hamburg, Liverpool, Milan and Basel on such issues as culture, education and industry.

I am convinced that when it comes to the region’s business climate, we must seek intellectual endeavour in all activities. Especially as the younger generation, graduating from universities and colleges of higher education, want to experience more of this kind of activity and not just for 10 days each year during TEFAF. They always want something similar to be going on. That is the challenge this region has, next to the cultural diversity that already exists. We are free to create something surprising and exciting , in the sense that people should be able to seek out the bizarre in art and culture and have an open mind about it. We shall continue to cross boundaries, primarily to keep young people in the region and to make sure it remains attractive for the future.

I advise TEFAF attendees to pay a visit to a number of museums in the region such as the Bonnefantenmuseum in Maastricht, the art museums of Aachen and Le Grand Curtius in Liège. Liège has recently opened the new Guillemins train station for you to admire. It was designed by Spanish architect, Santiago Calatrava. I also recommend the Opera de Wallonie, a very well-known European opera house. Then there are some slightly smaller enterprises that are well worth a visit such as the Glaspaleis in Heerlen and the Continium in Kerkrade. Afterwards, dine in Maastricht’s incredible culinary environment. Per capita, Limburg has the most Michelin stars of any city in Europe; hardly anyone seems to know that, but it’s true! There are also a great many top-level wellness facilities. This is just a small taste of what can be found and enjoyed in the Euregion, and what I would recommend to the TEFAF visitor.”

JAn MAnS HAS BEEn ACTInG MAYoR of Maastricht since 15 January 2010. Before that, he was Mayor

of Meerssen, Kerkrade and Enschede. He knows Maastricht

extremely well, having been Deputy Town Clerk in 1974 with his

offi ce in the beautiful city hall for eight years.

“I was born here in this region, in Heerlen. Since childhood I have always wanted to be mayor and that is eventually what I became; in nearby Meerssen, then in Kerkrade and later in Enschede in the east of the Netherlands, before returning to Limburg as Acting Mayor of Venlo. At the beginning of this year I received a call from the Governor of the Province of Limburg asking if I wanted to become Acting Mayor of Maastricht. I really didn’t have to think about it for very long. He

If I were a visitor to TEFAF and had the chance to visit on more than one occasion, I would definitely visit at least twice.”

26 27more or less said, “We need you.” And when I asked if I could think about it for a while he said, “You’ve got an hour.”

One of the reasons that the Governor wanted me for the job is that I know the city very well and have a great deal of experience governing large cities. Both factors played a role. When I arrived here, after all those years – I left in ’82 – I went straight to my old offi ce. Then I walked downstairs and stepped into this room, the Mayor’s Offi ce, where I had often been in my role as advisor to the mayor.”

Next to the mayor’s desk - from where he has a view of the Market Square - there is a round meeting table with four chairs next to the fi replace. “The chair that I sit on is the Mayor’s chair; the back of the chair is a little higher than the rest. When I worked here as deputy clerk I always sat on one of the other chairs and now I am allowed to sit on this one. Recently, I invited Mr. Houben (the Mayor before Gerd Leers) who I knew well from my own time here, for a coffee. He came in and I invited him to sit on the higher chair, but he said “No, Jan, that’s your chair now.” I said, “No Philip, that’s still your chair.” In the end we both sat on one of the other chairs.

When I worked here from 1974-1982, Maastricht was a sleepy little place. There was no university; it was a small city, just reclassifi ed after a few local villages having been added to the city. I had come from bustling Breda and thought, “My goodness, the world has stood still here.” But the wonderful thing is that during that period a lot of things happened at the same time; the university was founded and the fi rst TEFAF was developed which was then still called Pictura. There was a temporary hall on the Griend - the Eurohal - not particularly nice, very simple. However, the man in charge, Jan Huynen, had a keen eye for business endeavors, he is also one of the founders of the MECC. He was the driving force behind the fair and laid the foundations for Pictura,

...IF YoU Do noT oRIEnTATE YoURSELF SpECIFICALLY, YoU MAY MISS A LoT.”

”

which eventually expanded and became TEFAF, the wonderful, world-famous Antiques and Art fair. TEFAF is fantastic for this city in terms of quality, atmosphere, standing... and any other word you can think of.

I have a particular interest in modern art and that is what I head for fi rst. I am also very interested in the 16th - 17th Centuries. When I visit TEFAF this is where I start. It can all be so overwhelming that at a certain moment, you lose sight of what you really want to see and that is why I make a selection beforehand.

I would recommend visitors not to go directly to TEFAF but to visit the city of Maastricht fi rst and see where TEFAF takes place, before going on to enjoy TEFAF itself. If you go straight to the MECC from the airport, you will not have any idea of where TEFAF takes place. That part of Maastricht has a different feel to it compared to the city centre. You should get a taste of the city; literally, in the culinary sense, and also in terms of sampling the squares, churches, atmosphere and hospitality. I think it adds a certain something to enjoying what takes place at TEFAF.

If you only visit TEFAF once, there will be so many overwhelming impressions that if you do not orientate yourself specifi cally, you may miss a lot. As I have been a number of times this year, I saw many things that I would otherwise never have seen. So, if you really want to enjoy TEFAF, go at least twice!”

SAnDER HEIJMAnS IS THE CEo of

Maastricht Aachen Airport, the only privatised airport in the

netherlands. The airport is part of the UK’s omniport Group

which, in addition to Maastricht Aachen Airport, also operates

norwich Airport. omniport’s aim is to slowly but surely expand

their portfolio of international airports as business conditions

improve. Sander Heijmans is also the CEo of Maastricht Handling

Services which, together with Maastricht Aachen Airport, is very

important to TEFAF.

“There is a marked difference between the two companies. Maastricht Aachen Airport is, for example, responsible for fl ight traffi c safety and passengers, for maintaining infrastructure and ensuring all permits are

TEFAF is the only time of the year that we get so many business jets in the space of one week. Our airport deals with thousands of business jets each year, but in that one week alone we deal with around two hundred. While regular traffic continues the additional TEFAF landings and take-offs amount to 400 additional air traffic movements; this is unique!”

Maastricht Aachen AirportYour guide: Sander Heijmans, Chief Executive Officer Maastricht Aachen Airport

”in order so aircraft can land. Maastricht Handling Services deals with aircraft after landing. They park, load and unload, check passengers in, load and unload cargo and transfer it to trucks. At other airports this is done by third party handling companies. In this case, there are two different limited companies under the same holding. Handling is highly specialised work. There is a huge difference between cargo and passengers, but ultimately passengers can also be seen as cargo. Cargo and passengers must be dealt with on time and according to the rules.

A great many private aircraft land here during TEFAF, this is a really huge amount. Often these are the larger planes, the top range business jets which stay on the ground for longer. This is a great week for us. TEFAF is about art and during the event we ensure safe yet fast processing of the arts and people who come to buy it. Parking all the aircraft is a real puzzle and almost every space at Maastricht Aachen Airport is taken up by jets. Moreover, everything is concentrated on the fi rst two or three days as these are the real VIP days. Last year there were 190 VIP aircraft. This amounts to 360 air traffi c movements; 190 in and 190 out. The planning process takes multiple days as, for example, we have to make sure that departing aircraft have a free path off the platforms and are not blocked by ones that are staying longer. Another reason why we are able to process these numbers is our steady cooperation with companies like Netjets. For these it is not uncommon to depart right after dropping of passengers and picking up others elsewhere in Europe, so we may see the same aircraft bringing in passengers multiple times a day. As these planes do not have to park for longer periods we manage to keep space available for those who do, which is an advantage as we really do have to strictly plan every move during that week. Sometimes a plane does a round trip to Paris during the evening because the passengers want to dine there. TEFAF is, without doubt, a huge event for us. However, commercial traffi c, such

as Ryanair and Transavia, carries on as usual as it obviously should not be disrupted. Another sign that these days are special is that we see a large number of aircraft spotters around the fi eld who travel large distances to get here and take a week’s leave from work.

The advantage of a regional airport like Maastricht Aachen Airport is that we take care of the handling ourselves which means that a taxi or Bentley or any other kind of car that comes to collect you can drive onto the tarmac. As soon as you have landed, Customs or the Dutch Border Police will be waiting at the aircraft’s stairs to check your passport. Your Rolls Royce or Bentley will be waiting so you can just climb in and drive off through the gate. It is unique that there is an airport so close to MECC and that you can offer such a service and the smooth experience is a result of years of close cooperation with jet operators, air traffi c control, taxi companies and border inspection. It is essential to TEFAF as the people who arrive in this way are also the buyers. For us it means that we have to hurry and get things done quickly. It works against us, if there are not enough customs offi cers and people have to wait for half an hour. You need to be quick. People often arrive in the morning, fl y back in the evening and in the meantime visit TEFAF. They decide in a short time what they want to buy at TEFAF, and every minute is therefore valuable. We always work in shifts so we are open for handling 24 hours a day. The airport itself is only open from 6 am until 11 pm, with an extension of an hour till midnight at the latest. We always make sure that extra staff are on hand during TEFAF which is not hard as our employees take pride in meeting the challenge whilst providing fi rst class service. Maastricht Handling Services normally takes care of the handling but the entire airport becomes highly involved during TEFAF. Teams are put together beforehand to ensure everything fl ows smoothly. We consult closely with air traffi c control as they deal with aircraft that arrive every other minute. In addition, all of the standard traffi c has to continue without disruption.

TEFAF IS, WITHoUT DoUBT, A HUGE EVEnT FoR US.”

I always think that Maastricht has a unique atmosphere, however during TEFAF the city changes. You see limousines driving past, restaurants overfl owing with people and there are no hotel beds to be found if you have not booked well in advance. The city has a different atmosphere and becomes chicer and more fashionable than usual. I love this because Maastricht has such international allure then. The city has always been like that, but during TEFAF it is even more so. There are parties and after parties everywhere, for example at the Bonnefantenmuseum. TEFAF really puts Maastricht on the map. Whoever lands here, is just ten to fi fteen minutes away from visiting TEFAF at the MECC!”

City of AachenYour guide: Marcel Philipp, Lord Mayor of the City of Aachen, Germany

”city’s administration, this includes everything from street cleaning to the city’s cultural program. Every new day is exciting.

To discover the city, one should defi nitely start off in the Kaiserpfalz (Palace of Aachen), which is situated between the cathedral and the town hall. This is where one gets the best impression of our city’s roots. The cathedral is the largest building of the Carolingian period that has been preserved. There is a tower in the town hall that is defi nitely from this period making it the second largest building from the era of Charles the Great to be preserved. It is the cornerstone of the city in that respect. Especially visitors to TEFAF should leave their cares behind and do nothing except experience the atmosphere of this wonderful city. After all, fair visits are exhausting.

Visitors to the TEFAF who want to explore the region should visit all three neighbouring countries: the three cultures of Aachen, Maastricht and Liège, the border triangle. The point at which the three countries meet embodies the diversity of these countries and their excellent cooperation. The visitor can attempt to see similarities by undertaking simple things, walking, experiencing the culinary qualities of the various regions, the difference, as well as the similarities of the landscape and getting to know the people. That is the special appeal of this region. In Aachen this will, of course, include a visit to the cathedral, our town hall and the city’s museums, where there are always cultural programmes. This year the exhibition about Joos van Cleve (a Flemish Northern Renaissance Painter, ca.1485-1540) will be launched on the same weekend as the TEFAF so visitors to TEFAF can also visit the exhibition.

With a Charlemagne route, we are attempting to tell the story of Charles the Great, and the subsequent coronation history as well as the further development of the city. The route will be centred around various points of interest which we are currently developing. We are

continually developing more points of interest through which the history of the city can be experienced. The ‘Zeitungsmuseum’ (newspaper museum) will reopen in a few months and will probably be open in time for the next TEFAF. This is quite an exciting event, as presenting special newspaper issues – and also the history of the press – is a very special art form. The town hall offers this experience thanks to various technical features, for example, there are fi ne installations which help one to fi nd out about the history of the ‘Karlspreizes’ (Charlemagne Prize) in the stairwell, which has an interactive slide show. You can also take a very interesting tour around the town hall, enhanced by an audio guide that recognises your location. The town hall is therefore defi nitely worth a visit, as are the narrow lanes in the Old Town which form the structure of the inner city. You will fi nd another distinctive feature of Aachen that provides an interesting experience: the city’s triangular squares. These are a testimony to the fact that the city was orientated differently under the Romans than later under Charles the Great and as a result of the shifting of the city’s layout one often encounters triangular squares. The city centre has a special character with much charm.

Visitors should not forget to take home some ‘Aachener printen’ a hard type of sweet bread, baked in large fl at loaves. The city also offers local specialities such as marinated beef, ‘Himmel und Erde’ (apples and potatoes) or black pudding. Many of these products can be sampled in the city. Aachen has a small brewery, in the past there was a large one, and while this is not typical of the city, it is a sign that Aachen is active in all culinary fi elds. The beautiful thing about Aachen is that you can fi nd everything the three countries have to offer in one city. You can, for example, fi nd many kinds of Belgian beer in Aachen.

The Ludwig Forum for International Art is special as it has an almost unique collection to which, in Aachen, Ludwig contributed his

collection and where international art is regularly brought together in the form of a forum. Strictly speaking, it is not a museum but rather the representation of a collection and on that basis, the agenda of the Ludwig Forum is to organise many international exhibitions with various cultural programs and events. These include a pedagogical element with the aim of introducing children to art. You will always fi nd new and even more interesting exhibitions that complement this programme. That is our modern art. Our classical art is exhibited at the Suermondt-Ludwig museum, which is the second largest museum in the city. This year the Hyper Real exhibition, with Liechtenstein, Hanson, Chuck Close and others, is being organised at this museum, which has a very good reputation. Its director, Peter Franken, is a Dutchman, who has previously worked at the Bonnefanten museum in Maastricht. This is a clear expression of the fact that we are making an effort to exchange knowledge and skills across the borders.

The link between the history of our city and its future is the RWTH (Rhine-Westphalia Technical College) which is one of the leading centres of excellence in Germany. This college has given shape to the image of the city through, on the one hand, the fact that many of its buildings are in the heart of the city centre and on the other, through its 40,000 students who make Aachen a very young city. You will notice the large proportion of young people when you are in the city. Of course that makes it a very vibrant city and the college has an effect on many areas of the city, which is immediately noticeable. Another thing that gives us an economic advantage is the fact that there is a lot of growth here. The college is a magnet for companies and it is also a reason why so many conferences are held in Aachen. We are a conference city, and not just in the sense of a trade fair city. While we do not have a MECC, we have many facilities and hotels that are thoroughly geared to conferences with some 1,500 to 2,000 participants.

THAT IS THE SpECIAL AppEAL oF THIS REGIon.”

”

36 37Of course, the major advantage of the centre of excellence is that we have many technical anchor points: we have many professors who work as lecturers and who also organise conferences and as a result there is a lot of activity in the city centre. We frequently use the town hall as a reception location or for organising banquets. The support programme will be inspired by the beautiful city of Aachen and its role as a conference city will be expanded even further in the future.”

High Quality CateringYour guide: Noud van den Boer, CEO of Koninklijke Van den Boer Group BV

”

38 39“We have around 650 employees, which is quite sizeable for an event

catering company. Despite its size, it still feels like a family business.

The huge personal input from everyone means that we are able to

manage large projects like TEFAF. On those days we work with a

permanent core of staff, as well as temporary employees. It is almost

a kind of annual family reunion for all of our staff and that is really

noticeable in the quality we offer.

It is vital to our collaboration with TEFAF that the TEFAF organisation

works intensively with us. The approach is always ‘how shall we do

that?’ There are three types of meetings in the lead-up to a new TEFAF:

the general meeting, the culinary meeting and the logistic meeting. The

culinary meeting specifi cally looks into which food should be served

to TEFAF guests. The logistic meetings are about how we can ensure

that all food and beverages arrive at the right place, at the right time

and at the right temperature.

On the basis of the collaboration with TEFAF, serious consideration is

given to, for example, at which moment and via which route a guest

enters TEFAF during the private view and also to how the whole or half

day will be experienced. This is where the challenge lies. A guest may

arrive at 12.00 am and stay until 9.00 pm. This guest will require two

meals, which can be fairly easily anticipated. However, other guests

arrive at different times. In essence, we take into account the guest

who will be present from the beginning to the end. They start with soup,

sandwiches, something sweet, coffee; the type of food that is suitable

for lunch. Then we come to what you might call a high tea followed

by a dinner with a starter, a main course and a dessert, that allows the

WE TAKE ‘CRoWD-ConTRoL’ VERY SERIoUSLY...”

”

guests to mingle freely. The number and type of canapés depends on

the number of guests and where the guests will be. We take ‘crowd-

control’ very seriously, which means we divide the fair fl oor into 12

sectors. First of all, we start with the three main sectors and we predict

and monitor how many people are present. We measure this with the

help of ‘in-out fi gures’. Based on this, we divide those spaces visually

into four sections to estimate the number of guests as precisely as we

can. We subsequently check how much we will serve and where.

We measure this constantly so it can be modifi ed; a little more here, a

little less there or we transfer things to a different area. Our manager

receives text messages about this. It is almost like a military operation,

but the number of people involved means that it really does have to be

very well organised. We are always looking at it from the point of view

of how we would like it to be and then we think about what guests

would prefer to eat. Based on this, we devise the ‘ideal’ menu and think

of how to get this ‘ideal’ menu to the guests. We subsequently look into

any exceptions. For example, what do we serve someone who arrives

at a less than ideal time for us? We try to avoid serving sweet and

savoury foods at the same time.

In the meantime, we have almost 120,000 items that have to be served

to 10,000 guests on the opening evening. This means that there are

guests who may enjoy twenty small dishes and others who, not being

present for long or being intensely involved with the art, may only have

a few. The dishes vary from a croquette or a small cup of soup to a

delicious sandwich or an elegant main course. We have noticed that

it is becoming more complicated each year. As the numbers grow,

there are moments when the limits of the infrastructure of the building

40 41are reached. Each year as the number of guests increase we have to

come up with ideas to meet the demand. This is why there are also

MECC experts present at all of the meetings who are able to support

our organisation.

Local products – of which Limburg has many of a very high quality

– play an increasingly important role. We have noticed that there is

an increased demand for these products, but this needs to be put into

perspective. Once at TEFAF, you almost instinctively notice that a large

proportion of the food comes from the region. It is part of a policy of

how to reduce the number of food miles - the distance products are

transported from source to destination - as regards the product and

the way in which you work. Global cooking was a huge trend; the

further a product travelled the better. However, over the past few years

there has been a return to becoming more creative with local products,

‘forgotten’ dishes and ingredients.

We are always careful with this. It is all very well to use local products,

but you also need to be sure that the quality and the quantity are

suffi cient. You need to fi nd the right balance. Every year we learn from

our experience at TEFAF and we incorporate this into the next edition.

For the upcoming TEFAF, we will be serving lunch slightly later and

dinner a little earlier and will be offering an extra appetiser in-between

the two. We will have to constantly monitor the situation and profi le

the product without going over the top. After all, it is only one part of

TEFAF. That is the clear briefi ng we receive from TEFAF; you can make

it a culinary party if you wish, but the art and guests come fi rst.”

REnE HAnSSEn IS THE DIRECToR of

MECC Maastricht, a position that carries a great deal of

responsibility, especially with regard to large-scale events such as

TEFAF, that take place here. Together, we will take a look behind

the scenes of the previous edition of TEFAF.

“There are a number of developments going on at TEFAF, including the addition of new sections. In 2009 it was ‘TEFAF Design,’ and the last edition dealt with the conceptual enrichment of ‘TEFAF on paper.’ This was a new section in the Exhibition Foyer that was greatly appreciated by visitors. TEFAF Design was integrated into the West Hall. The challenge of creating more space for the exhibitors with regard to the layout placed a heavy demand on the fl exibility and innovation

42 43capacity of architects, stand-builders and catering specialists. The expansion of the exhibition throws an altogether different light on the layout and routing. When seen in terms of TEFAF’s high quality standards, such changes will certainly have a considerable impact on the entire organisation. The architect has had to design a new section of the exhibition. The catering areas have been completely redeveloped, as have the hospitality areas. Part of the hospitality section has been moved to the Brasserie. The result was a chain of activities with so many new stands that it ultimately became a whole new project. If the original planning is taken into consideration, things no longer fi t and the physical limits of the building are an impediment. I am proud that the MECC Maastricht experts succeed in constantly shifting the apparent physical limits. The limits of our organised capacity still have suffi cient fl exibility, despite the fact that it is a huge challenge to become part of such a large revitalised project.

Logistics issues demand particular attention. For example, materials need to be sourced from further away, the increase in the stream of visitors necessitates a smart expansion of the parking facilities and the routing inside and outside needs to be changed. These challenges are given an extra dimension by the fact that functional solutions sometimes threaten to confl ict with the high standards we have all come to expect from TEFAF. Behind the scenes it can create some tense moments. The fact that the guests have never noticed this, is a testament to the professionalism of the entire TEFAF organisation, suppliers and the MECC staff. Currently, all spaces are being effi ciently used. We could expand out towards the conference centre but the visitor experience shows that this is not desirable as it should be possible to experience TEFAF in one day. Due to the entirely new layout, it has been seen as a new exhibition by regularly returning visitors.

One important learning moment of last year concerned the power failure we had as a result of an unexpected peak demand. For almost 25 years we have known the layout of the electricity supply, but despite investigation reports and advice on how to facilitate the expansion of TEFAF, it was insuffi cient. We had calculated prior to the event that 20% more light would be needed to facilitate all of the stands and the increased capacity requirements linked to the high-quality catering services. Due to certain external factors in the area of Maastricht where MECC Maastricht is located, the reserves were apparently not able to respond to emergency scenarios that were due to unforeseeable circumstances. This should not and will not happen again. Everything will be reviewed together with reputable organisations and extra power provisions will be installed. TEFAF will always remain inextricably linked to growth; growth as regards the quality of what is on display as well as the number of visitors.

More and more companies are seeing the intrinsic value of TEFAF as a client event even though the larger sponsors have known this for some time. It is, however, important to note, that this should only concern relevant guests. Our TEFAF Suites offer companies and organisations areas close to the exhibition fl oor where they can invite their guests and lavishly entertain them at the exhibition. In the past, when someone was invited to TEFAF a ticket would be sent and they viewed the exhibition on their own. Nowadays, it is more worthwhile to receive a guest in the suite, talk to them and tell them about the exhibition and then offer a tour. It is a far more valuable gift than just sending a ticket. Increasing numbers of companies have discovered that this is the added value of our suites. Each company offers its own presentation in its own fi eld of work. A TEFAF Suite is a concept that consists of your own reception room, complete with pleasant catering and anything else you may need. It is a total client marketing tool.

44 45Due to the experiences of 2010, MECC Maastricht has grown and matured. For this reason, we can hardly wait to again make a constructive contribution to what will no doubt be a highly successful edition of TEFAF in 2011. We have had a ‘growth spurt’ and plan to continue growing. We will especially be reviewing matters in the area of security. To this end we have recruited a new security offi cer as the safety of our guests is paramount. It might seem that the security of jewellery, art and antiquities is the most important issue at TEFAF, however our guests are just as important.”

LEon MARTEnS JEWELLERS is well-known in

the netherlands and enjoys international fame. It has been a family

business for more than a hundred years and has two branches

in Maastricht. With great dedication and an extraordinary

knowledge of watches and jewellery, the four generations have

succeeded in building up a loyal customer base. They also built

up a special relationship with the best watch and jewellery

makers. With her background in art, Marie-Louise Martens plays

an important role in the company. Her expert knowledge and

fl air for colour, shape and materials are evident throughout the

collection and in the interiors of the two shops.

Art and jewellery are closely related as jewels are really little works of art. When I select pieces for a photo shoot, I compose or paint with jewels as it were and look for composition and style in objects that match.”

- Advertorial -

46 47“The company originally belonged to my husband’s grandparents, then to his parents and now it belongs to our generation and also to our children. Four generations of Martens are linked to the company. I did not come from the jewellery industry originally and was more focused on art but I have immersed myself in jewellery over the years. This ranges from what the Etruscans made to the French period, from the Italian goldsmiths and jewellers up to the present day. The nice thing is that once you know a lot about this subject, it becomes easier to select from what is on offer as regards modern jewellery.

I also design pieces myself and would like to give these something more than just temporary appeal so they will retain their beauty in the years to come. For that reason it is always interesting to visit TEFAF and to have a look at all of the various jewellery collections. I always learn because I see the jewels in a different way. It provides me with inspiration for new jewellery; helping me to consider my choice of materials, the selection of gems, the shape, and the colour combinations when working with a number of stones. That is what is so inspiring about TEFAF, that I get the chance to admire pieces from so many different jewellery houses.

I am often able to asses a client’s taste. If I am asked for a beautiful ring or earrings, I show a few pieces and very often my fi rst suggestion becomes the ultimate choice. Being able to advise clients is of vital importance as our collection is enormous and is made up of thousands of pieces. It gives me a good feeling to be able to help someone select the right piece.

Our collection consists of watches as well as jewellery and contains for example Patek Philippe and A. Lange & Söhne. This brand is renowned for its perfection and has the most refi ned, technically perfect timepieces. They have been top of the range for many years.

We also carry more sporty brands such as Rolex. Jaeger-LeCoultre, Cartier and Breguet are also part of our collection.

We have two shops in Maastricht. Ten years ago we decided to open a second premises in the city centre and that is now Leon Martens Espace in the Stokstraat. During the last few years in particular, this has become a great area of the city, with good hotels, a number of wonderful restaurants and lovely bistros and now the opening of a Hermes boutique in March 2011.

The Stokstraat is Maastricht’s shopping disctrict and women like to shop here. It houses the crème de la crème of fashion stores. This is where we keep our latest items. If a new Pomellato collection arrives, it will be fi rst available here. We also have watches at the Stokstraat premises, but less, as our watchmakers and salespeople with know-how are concentrated at the Stationsstraat. There are many men, for example, who want to know about the technical aspects of a watch and this is the place for them.

TEFAF visitors visit places such as Paris, Milan, and New York where there is an abundance of beautiful products. They think Maastricht is unique as they can fi nd all of that on a small scale here. The new Hermès shop next to our store in the Stationsstraat is a good example of this. It is due to open just before TEFAF in March 2011. The city is peaceful in comparison to major capital cities where you are dragged into the hectic pace of everyday life.

Maastricht is a great city, we feel at home here and you can see that regular visitors to the city also feel that way. I think that this contributes to TEFAF’s success; the combination of the city and MECC’s excellent facilities.”

ALEXAnDER VAn GREVEnSTEIn has been

the director of the Bonnefanten museum since 1987, from before

there was even a museum at all. It was built at the same time

as the collection was put together. The museum collection is

made up of a permanent collection of old Masters paintings,

sculptures and applied arts from the period between 1200-1650

and also of a recently developed collection of contemporary art.

In addition to this, regularly changing exhibitions are organised.

Since 1995, the museum has been housed in a unique building

with a distinctive domed tower designed by the famous Italian

architect, Aldo Rossi.

During the one and a half weeks that TEFAF runs in Maastricht, the entire professional world, including private collectors, can be encountered. I can hardly think of any other city, except Basel, that experiences such a phenomenon on an annual basis.”

A Unique BuildingYour guide: Alexander van Grevenstein, Director of the Bonnefanten Museum

”“The Bonnefanten Museum is a medium sized museum with a collection of contemporary and old art on one fl oor and changing exhibitions – also of old and contemporary art - on another fl oor. The exhibitions always enjoy a certain degree of recognition, and especially the exhibitions of contemporary art would not be out of place in London or New York. The collections are based on an extensive international network. Those of the old art are partly based on a good relationship with the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. These are exhibitions of work from the Golden Age of the Southern Netherlands, from the end of the 16th century to the beginning of the 17th century, particularly from ateliers in Brussels and Antwerp.

There are two ways to run a museum. One is to fi rst of all pay attention to what the public wants and then look for art based on this; the other is to always prioritise art and then fi nd the public to go with it. We do the latter. It means that we need to have good relationships with living artists.

We also have excellent relationships with art dealers and with private collectors of, for example, the Neutelings collection, which includes art from the early to the late Middle Ages. For the most part, this is religious art. We have a good relationship with a collector in Liège, Charles Vandenhove, who has an international collection of around three hundred pieces that we can work with. They date from the nineteen fi fties to the present day.

We have noticed that visitors to TEFAF who stay for a night or two in Maastricht, also like to visit us. We see more and more professionals, and we always make sure that we are able to show them something special during TEFAF, something unexpected.

”

The region has a number of unique buildings, such as the Eben-Ezer Tower, in the village of Eben-Emael just over the Belgium border. The tower was designed and built single-handedly by the autodidactic artist, architect, writer, esotericist and philosopher, Robert Garcet. The four enormous concrete images of animals that perch at the top of the tower depict the Apocalypse. It is one of the most unique works of European 20th century art and was constructed from huge pieces of granite taken from Garcet’s own quarry.

The city of Maastricht itself is a city with many original facades, such as those on the Vrijthof and the Markt. In historical terms, they are important facades from the French period. I call them facades, because you cannot visit the sites, often the rear is made of newly constructed buildings.

There are also two quite unusual churches: the Basilica of Saint Servatius and the Basilica of Our Lady, a fortifi ed church, built almost like a castle in the original Early Gothic style. Beneath it is a temple complex from the Roman period. Maastricht also has much to offer below ground, making it a unique place.

During TEFAF 2011, the Bonnefanten Museum will present a unique collection of classic Moderns – from Matisse to Picasso - from a public collection in Belgium. We also have something rather special; a large exhibition by an important contemporary Belgian artist, Francis Alÿs. This exhibition will be with us from November 2010 until TEFAF in March 2011. There will, therefore, be something special for everyone.

With the content of our exhibitions, we would like to to give TEFAF a context. Moreover, Maastricht is a fantastic city because it is a small city and yet the entire professional world can be met here as well as the collectors who are all here for one and a half weeks. You can enjoy

fabulous food and drinks while you are here; it is the combination of all these things that gives it its strength. You will never feel lost as everything is contained within a small area. I can hardly think of a small city that experiences such a phenomenon on an annual basis.”

SYLVAIn SLEYpEn IS the Representative of the

province of Belgian Limburg till the beginning of 2011. He talks

enthusiastically about the importance of Maastricht and the

Meuse for this lovely Belgian province.

The Province of Limburg is one of the fi ve provinces of Flanders. It borders the Dutch province of North Brabant to the north and the Dutch province of Limburg to the east. The three regions of Haspengouw, Maasland and De Kempen extend across Belgium and the Netherlands, covering an area in which a common language is spoken. This means that the two provinces with the same name, Limburg, have their own identity that transcends borders. The offi cial Limburg anthem ‘Limburg, my Fatherland’ – better known colloquially as ‘In the Bronze-Green Oakwood’ –

To us, Maastricht feels like part of Belgium.”

Limburg & The Other LimburgYour guide: Sylvain Sleypen, Representative of the Province of Belgian Limburg

”applies to both provinces of Limburg and is sung wholeheartedly by the population. There are many more common factors that join these very authentic and green provinces of Flanders and the Netherlands, and these are explained here by Sylvain Sleypen: “We consider Maastricht to be a Belgian city, because it is the only Dutch city located on this side of the Meuse. If the river had been the border, then Maastricht would be in Belgium and the only reason why this is not so, is because of the stronghold of William of Orange who wanted to maintain the military base here. However, for everyone in Belgian Limburg, Maastricht feels like a little slice of Belgium. Maastricht is a metropolis around which we revolve in terms of culture, tourism and economy. We do, of course, have Hasselt, but that became a capital city in an artifi cial way, without a strong historical past. It is our capital city, but in reality we still consider Maastricht as our capital. When the two provinces were separated, it was decided that there should be a new capital city at a reasonable distance from Maastricht. Maastricht is important because of its historical character and its strong sense of culture. The links we have with the museums and universities mean that Maastricht can also be a driving force for all cultural events. The Meuse is an underestimated force. The river is economically important to Maastricht from which it then fl ows towards the Meuse border. From Maasbracht, it fl ows further via the Waal through the land of Meuse and Waal towards Rotterdam and then out to the sea. The Meuse has many villages and towns along its banks, called Meuse villages and towns interspersed with nature areas. The Meuse adds tremendous value in terms of recreation and tourism, as well as in terms of water provisioning and drinking water supply. To return briefl y to the role of Maastricht, we have another thing in common: in ‘Maasland’ (Meuse country), we have a dialect that is also spoken in Maastricht. We have a melodious language and this is a huge advantage as

54 55it means we can give a different meaning to a word just by using a different pitch. We also have a great deal of music in common; naturally we listen to the folk singer Beppie Kraft and also to a lot of other music from Maastricht. In the border area of ‘Maasland’ in particular, we feel a strong sense of unity in all aspects.

During TEFAF 2011, we shall again invite a number of people to visit TEFAF. Last year we noticed that this worked well to position our region. There are people from Flanders who do not yet know about TEFAF and are amazed at what is on show there. We want to carry on the tradition of receiving people during TEFAF and showing them around. TEFAF is one of the factors that demonstrate our collaboration with Dutch Limburg and exhibit the high quality that is present within our two provinces. It is primarily a quality statement about us. People often ask what they can do in Limburg and with TEFAF we can really demonstrate this.

There is more than enough to enjoy in Maastricht, but we need to let people know that there is also more than enough to enjoy in Maastricht and its surrounding area. If we convey this to the visitors, they will know that there is even more to see and do next time they come to Maastricht. The hotels here in Hasselt are always packed during TEFAF. This happens automatically as we belong to the periphery of Maastricht.

TEFAF expresses the international nature of the entire region. We were the very fi rst Euregion and that underlines the unique position we have as the heart of ancient Europe. Europe was created here and we need to continue to emphasise that pole position and to pass it on to TEFAF. We had that pole position during the reign of Charlemagne and once again in 1957 when the European Union was created. We should not let ourselves be pushed aside; we were the beginning. Brussels is the European Capital because we are so close, not the other way round.”

HEnK VoS IS An interior architect and designer

born to the job. A major infl uence in his design is the legendary

pierre Janssen, who was a part-time professor at the art academy

in Rotterdam. Even more unique is the fact that during his studies,

Henk Vos’s landlady turned out to be the mother-in-law of pierre

Janssen. All of the students had to congregate around the table

each evening and pierre Janssen ate with them. The inspiring

conversations around the table did much to contribute to his

studies and to his view of architecture; this is refl ected in Henk

Vos’s work.

I feel that the most important thing for a hotel is to provide the guest with an inspiring environment; the guest should be amazed and that is certain to happen in this teaching hotel.”

Design, the next step in hospitalityYour guide: Henk Vos, Art Director, Château Bethlehem Teaching Hotel Hotel Management School Maastricht

56 57“I was asked by Camille Oostwegel to design the Kruisheren Hotel here in Maastricht; it was an enormous challenge to transform a church into a hotel. Not only did we have to create hotel rooms, but also a variety of public areas. But I think we did a pretty good job of it. It has become a design somewhere between heaven and earth. Each room was different and each room was individually designed. It was a real nightmare for the Vos Interieur logistics department, because it involved so many different pieces of furniture for all of the various rooms, as no room was the same. What we eventually did was rent a storage unit and divide everything into sections corresponding to the various rooms. Everything that came in was given a sticker and put into a section. It was a pretty effi cient way of working.

The people here feel connected to the city; the citizens and the businesses. We saw this as soon as we wanted to put a water pillar into the inner courtyard of the Kruisheren Hotel. The amount of 75,000 euro had not been part of the original estimate and so it could not go through. Some weeks later, Camille Oostwegel asked me to come to Maastricht. He called me the night before and said that I would need to make a speech, and should not think too much about it but just go ahead and do it. He would not tell me anymore about it. The evening was attended by people and businesses from Maastricht. They listened to my idea and that evening they spontaneously donated the money for the water pillar. There is a little copper plaque in the church with all the names of the sponsors, without specifying the amounts.

Following the positive response to the Kruisheren Hotel, the dean of the Hotel Management School Maastricht, Ad Smits, asked me if I would like to design the Teaching Hotel Château Bethlehem. It was not in my interest to design a second hotel in Maastricht in such a short time and I suggested working with a group of established designers to create an innovative learning environment in the historic Château Bethlehem. Out

of an extensive list I selected a number of designers with the scope of the hotel in mind and they all agreed to join us in this ambitious project. They received a short briefi ng, but they did not meet with each other. At the designer presentation I sat on the other side of the table – a completely new experience for me. Each room was a surprise and had a story to tell.

The task was to design and furnish a room with a lump sum budget. Many materials such as tiles, sanitary fi ttings, carpets etc. were offered by sponsors and the designers could make their choice from the collection. There were unique challenges like the toilet in the entrance area or very little wardrobe space, but I have allowed design to dominate practicality and the unique outcome makes the school live up to its motto of “It is not a hotel, it is a teaching hotel”.

I am currently staying in a room in which the carpet stretches up to the edge of the bath and shower. It gets wet and so something has to be put over it. That is the sort of thing you have to remember and never repeat. No standards were given in the briefi ngs, but the rooms should be comfortable to the guest and innovative for the students to help them understand conceptual thinking and creativity.

There is a huge amount of design talent in the Netherlands that does not really get the chance to shine, because they constantly come up against established talent. The established designers have thrown up walls around themselves and it is hard to climb over them. Either you have to be exceptionally good or be lucky enough to get noticed by the press; at which point all kinds of doors will open to you. But there is still a great deal of talent that goes unnoticed.

Each room has its own story of course; even the hallways and the numbering of the rooms, which was designed by my son Bart. I did not

really want him to be involved, but I thought it was a fantastic design; and I say that as a designer, not as a father. He thought that numbering on the doors was pretty ugly and so he made the numbers in the stucco work of the hall in relief and the doors in high-gloss white. It’s beautiful. The hallways are very restrained, which only makes you all the more curious as to what might be behind each door.

Each of the 26 rooms in the Château Bethlehem Teaching Hotel is unique in its design and provisioning. The collaboration of 12 Dutch designers has transformed a monumental castle into a ‘hotel with design.’ There are six meeting areas in the teaching hotel, as well as a restaurant and a bar/ lounge. These spaces also needed to be designed. The design of the restaurant was the result of a competition between four students from the Design Academy Eindhoven, for example. The young designer Leon de Lange won and he did his fi rst project here. The hotel building as a whole, with its differently designed areas, gives the students the chance to learn hospitality on all levels. I think the most important thing is an inspiring environment. It gives the students a basis for their later career.

The Old Masters collection focuses on 16th and 17th century Flemish painters and early Italian art from 1300 – 1500, which are on show in Maastricht thanks to intensive co operation with the Rijksmuseum. The museum’s collection also comprises beautiful medieval Maasland sculptures by Maastricht woodcarver Jan van Steffeswert and the Neutelings Collection, with domestic altars, fragments of altarpieces and woodcarvings mainly from France, England and the Meuse region. Thanks to collaboration with Stichting Restauratieatelier Limburg, visitors are allowed a close-up of the analysis of paintings.

Prominent artists of American minimalist art and Italian arte povera form the basis of the collection of contemporary art. Works by Sol LeWitt, Richard Serra and Luciano Fabro provide a solid basis for this collection, together with Marcel Broodthaers, Joseph Beuys and Bruce Nauman. The collection is remarkable for its large ensemble pieces and room-size installations by younger artists, such as Franz West,

GUIDED ToUR UnDERGRoUnDThe famous passages beneath St. Pietersberg were carved out of the marl, once a common local building material. More than 20,000 passages, a true labyrinth, were created over the course of the centuries. The men who worked here and local artists carved images into the soft stone walls. Local people took shelter in the passages during Maastricht’s many sieges, including in the Second World War. The tourist office’s guided tours last approximately an hour.Information: www.maastrichtunderground.nl
