Welcome to 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.

For museums, especially the big ones in Amsterdam like the Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh, it means one is able to look at the pictures in a calm and leisurely fashion without staring at the backs of heads and back-packs of hordes of mindless tourists . . .
