Welcome ArtsTalk Magazine Holland

Launched in June 2017, we are the sister publication of StageTalk Magazine in the UK and provide previews, reviews and information, in English, for theatres, art exhibitions, concerts, opera etc, concentrating on cities in south west Netherlands (Noord/Zuid Holland and Utrecht regions). Each venue, museum or gallery has its own page with information and a link to its website. The site is updated regularly and information is always coming in so there is always something new to discover or read about.

If you are promoting any events, please let us know and we’ll probably be able to list them.

Please subscribe to ArtsTalk Magazine using the box at the bottom of the page and follow us on social media using the links below so you are always up to date with the arts in Holland.

Some Highlights This Month

As one would expect with so many world-class galleries and museums in our area there are some important exhibitions opening during October. The Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam has an interesting looking show opening on 13th. Entitled BOIJMANS IN THE WAR: ART IN THE DESTROYED CITY the museum will examine its own history during the Second World War and the period immediately thereafter. . .

EXTRACURRICULAR

THE WESTFRIES MUSEUM in Hoorn

Slightly out of the area we normally cover (hence its Extracurricular designation) the Westfries Museum is one of those museums where the building itself is as interesting as its exhibits. In its panelled, oak-beamed rooms and via its steep winding staircases you can feel the concentrated power of the 17th century Dutch, a time of abundance of riches.
