About this activity

Visit the Diamond Museum and become a diamond expert! While our museum prepares for its new home, the highlights of the collection are on show in a temporary exhibition, combined with a guided diamond factory tour on one ticket.

Your visit starts on the factory floor, where actual diamond polishers and goldsmiths turn rough stones into the most beautiful jewellery, and you discover the art of diamond valuation with the 4 C's: Carat, Clarity, Colour and Cut.

Then the Diamond Museum Highlights exhibition sends you on a journey that starts 200 kilometres below the earth. You will learn how diamonds are formed through a process of billions of years to their final shape we all know and love. Be enchanted by glittering diamonds, admire the Ape skull set with 17,000 diamonds, and come face to face with replicas of the Koh-i-Noor, the Cullinan and the crowns of kings.

Itinerary

Diamant Museum Amsterdam

Admission included

Located between the Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh Museum at the famous Museum Square you will find the Diamond Museum Amsterdam. While the museum prepares for its new home, the highlights of the collection are on show in a temporary exhibition, with a guided diamond factory tour on one ticket.

Amsterdam has been the City of Diamonds for four centuries, and many famous stones were cut here, such as the Cullinan (the largest diamond ever found) and the Koh-i-Noor (the mountain of light). Learn about every aspect of the world of diamonds. From the origins of diamonds, to the valuation, different types of diamond and the attributes that make them special and so valuable.

Watch master polishers turn rough stones into brilliants in front of you during a 30 minute guided factory tour, gaze upon the diamond encrusted version of 'Starry Starry Night' by van Gogh, see how kings throughout history showed their power and status through our replica crowns and the famous diamond-studded ape skull.
