Welcome to ArtsTalk Magazine Holland

Launched in June 2017, we provide previews, reviews and information, in English, for theatres, art exhibitions, concerts, opera etc, concentrating on cities in south west Netherlands. We cover Amsterdam, The Hague, Rotterdam and everything in between and nearby – an area known as Randstad. Each venue, museum or gallery has its own page with information and a link to its website. The site is updated on a daily basis.

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

NOT ONLY, BUT ALSO . . . some dates for your diary

Here’s a run down of some other events coming up in the next few weeks in Amsterdam, The Hague, Rotterdam and places nearby and in between. . .

There is so much going on in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague and nearby there are hardly enough days in the week to see or do everything. Luckily a lot of the exhibitions, events and tours run for quite a long time so if you have missed anything, don’t worry, it may still be running.

REGULAR EVENTS . . .

There are lots of events taking place on a weekly, monthly or occasional basis. There are literary events, musical events and, of course, stand-up comedy. Here is a list of venues or events in Amsterdam, The Hague, Rotterdam and places nearby with links to their websites

The Priceless Hidden Antiquities in the Netherlands

This is the story of how a 2,800 year-old Cypriot oinochoe, or wine jug, ended up in a small apartment in Eindhoven. Its journey from ancient Cyprus to a Dutch domestic environment is as intriguing as the archaeological importance of the vessel itself. The saga begins nearly a century ago, far from both Cyprus and the Netherlands, in Sweden.

Although we concentrate on Amsterdam, The Hague and Rotterdam and everything else in between and nearby there are lots of other interesting events happening elsewhere
