Diamond Museum, Amsterdam

If diamonds are forever, then this is an experience you do not want to miss.

Diamonds are a girl’s best friend, and this is their origin story. Located in an unassuming red-brick villa, this museum just proves that what you have on the inside is far more important than what’s on the outside. Here, the diamond experience is more interactive than anything. You get to learn about the history and origin of diamonds, via a multimedia exploration of the stone itself, as well as its impact on fashion, glamour, and public perception. Your senses will be dazzled by the sheer range of diamond-encrusted objects on display, even a skull covered in diamonds and a diamond-studded tennis racket! Above all, the museum houses a series of glittering replica crowns that your fingers will itch to try on.


Ever wanted to be a connoisseur of precious stones? Here you can learn the difference between real and fake diamonds so that you won’t be fooled in the future, and can even show off your newly acquired expertise to impress your friends! You will also get the opportunity to see real diamond polishers at work in the Royal Coster, which occupies two neighboring houses and conducts regular tours of its factories. Overall, the sheer concentration of diamonds and glitter truly makes for a heady experience.
