THE NETWORK

The European Network of Heritage Fairs (Herifairs®) is the first and unique operative platform for exchange and development synergies between the most prestigious fairs in art, conservation, restoration and valorization of cultural heritage in Europe, with an open cooperation with other international fairs and events in the world.

OUR MISSION: The mission of Herifairs is to represent and empower the Art and Cultural Heritage sector and to be an influential voice and advocate in promoting the interests of its members at European and international level.

INTERNATIONAL FAIRS

In 2023, the Herifairs Network opened up to non-European fairs thanks to the structured collaboration with international companies that operate in the enhancement of the world's cultural heritage.

The Middle East fair in Abu Dhabi and the Monumental fair in Mexico City are now active members of the Network.
