The foundation’s flagship event, TEFAF Maastricht is widely recognized as the most prestigious art fair in the world, covering more than 7,000 years of artwork and antique or design objects. Represented by over 270 art dealers, together representing over 20 different countries.

In 2012, TEFAF launched its Museum Restoration Fund, which aims to support and promote the work of conservation professionals with works in museum collections.
