LocoMotive

A unique art event with international impact

LocoMotief ('LocoMotive') is a unique Dutch art event: for a period of two weeks every two years, all advertising space (billboards) on all Dutch railway stations is used to exhibit works of art.

Instead of displaying advertisements for mobile phones, package holidays and beer on the billboards in train stations, a number of young artists are invited to exhibit their work to a public of 1 million train travellers each day.

By doing so, 300 Dutch railway stations temporarily become the largest exhibition space in the world.
