Diamond Museum in Antwerp
Koningin Astridplein 19, Antwerpen, Belgium
About the company:
The Diamond Museum in Antwerp can be called the World Diamond Center.
The museum contains the most amazing and incredible diamond exhibits, which are only the famous diamond jeans. The museum also houses replicas of the jewels of British kings, including one of the most famous diamonds in the world - the purest Kohinor.
The museum is very modern, so you can take an audio guide and walk through the beautiful halls. There are 7 virtual tours to find the perfect stones. Special sensory routes are also open for visually impaired and blind visitors.
It is important to note that for about 5 centuries, the Belgian town of Antwerp connects its life with diamond processing, so it is not surprising that a diamond museum appeared in the center of the city.
The museum was officially opened in 1988, but was often closed for renovations, however, after moving to a new large room, the museum is always open to visitors. On certain days, demonstration shows are held at the museum, and the craftsmen demonstrate the diamond processing process.
