​​​Dutch Equine Art Fair 2025

6–9 November | Living Horse Museum, Amsterdam, the Netherlands​​​

​

A celebration of contemporary equine art
Join us this November for the third edition of the Dutch Equine Art Fair, an international showcase dedicated entirely to contemporary equine art. Set in the Living Horse Museum in the heart of Amsterdam, this four-day event brings together artists, collectors, art enthusiasts and horse lovers from around the world.

​

A historic setting
The fair takes place at De Hollandsche Manege, the oldest riding school in the Netherlands and home to the Living Horse Museum. Owned by the Valk family, this national monument is a hidden gem just steps from the Leidseplein and Vondelpark, where heritage and living tradition meet. Visitors can experience the world of classical riding, the enduring bond between horse and human, and the atmosphere of a working equestrian centre that has shaped Amsterdam’s cultural history since 1744.

​

Now in its third year, the Dutch Equine Art Fair fulfils the wish of museum directors Elsbeth Bos and Vincent Valk to cultivate a larger stage for equine art within this historic venue, creating an innovative and inspiring setting unique in its kind.

​

Every Sunday, visitors can enjoy a live carousel demonstration in the grand arena, a captivating display of classical horsemanship. Children can discover the world of the horse through treasure hunts, while architecture enthusiasts can admire the historic design of A.L. van Gendt. Whether you come for history, education, or simply the atmosphere, the Living Horse Museum offers a unique experience in the heart of the city, yet a world apart from the bustle.
