The Antwerp Diamond Museum:

Form rough stone to dazzling gem

Antwerp Diamond Museum is the largest diamond museum in the world. Interactive displays showcase mining and cutting processes, and polishing demonstrations take place Saturday afternoons. You can view items dating from the 16th century to the present.

On display you will find 400 years of a girl’s best friend:
• Art deco items form Paris
• necklaces in which diamonds are set with coral, jade or lapis lazuli
• replica of the British Crown Jewels containing two of the world's largest diamonds: the Kohinoor and the Cullinan and contemporary diamond creations
