Situated in a 19th-century monumental building, Amsterdam's Diamond Museum has to be on the bucket list for everyone who is fascinated by one of the most valuable precious stones in the world. Here, you will embark on a journey that starts right below the surface of the Earth and ends as a symbol of wealth and power on a person.

Along with learning how diamonds are formed and processed, you will be able to admire some of the best collections of diamond artifacts including replica tiaras and crowns. Some of the most noteworthy artifacts include the smallest diamond ever cut, the Katana (Japanese sword) of Murano glass that is adorned with 1967 diamonds and 494 rubies, and the famous Ape Skull. Bedecked with 17,000 beautiful diamonds, it takes inspiration from Damien Hirst's sculpture of a diamond-encrusted human skull.

The Diamond Heist

Why just admire the diamonds from afar when you can steal one? Enter a dark room and try to reach the biggest diamond you have ever seen. But it's not going to be so easy - first, you have to maneuver past the smoke and laser beams that will go off if you touch one. Visit this incredible museum to get an experience of a diamond robbery in a setting akin to escape rooms.

The key highlights of the Diamond Museum's permanent collection include -

  • The 19th-century building - Admire the quaint elements such as stained glass windows and tall ceilings as you learn all about diamonds.
  • Origin of diamonds - Find out how and why diamonds are mined, and where they come from in a fun and interactive way.
  • Rough diamonds - See how very unlike rough diamonds look from the beloved sparkling stones we know.
  • The 4 C's - Find out the 4 C's used to determine the valuation of a diamond.
  • The craft of diamond polishing - Discover the traditional tools once used by professional diamond polishers.
  • The City of Diamonds - Discover how Amsterdam came to be the world's diamond capital.
  • Diamonds in jewelry - Be blown away by the museum's collection of Royal diamond jewelry.
  • International Crown Collection - Explore a special exhibition dedicated to crowns and tiaras from all over the world.
  • Art & Diamonds - Discover exclusive objects, other than jewelry, that are completely set in diamonds.
  • The Glamour Room - Experience what it feels like to be inside a diamond in the last room of the museum.
  • The House of Oranje-Nassau - Explore a magnificent collection of 350+ year old jewels, amassed by the various generations of the Dutch Dynasty of Oranje-Nassau.
