Really cool museum with a lot of the history of diamond cutting internationally, but specifically the huge diamond industry in the Netherlands. I really enjoyed the tiara/crown room and the mirror room with their version of the Hirst skull. I understand that they couldn't have the real diamonds for the "significant diamonds of the world" exhibition, but the gems seemed so obviously plastic. Would be better for their displays to get some high quality glass or CZ representations. Would definitely still recommend this museum... And don't forget to visit the Coster Diamond shop & museum next door for free with your Diamante Museum ticket!

First we attended a free tour at the Royal Coster Diamonds - and that was great because it gave us a foundational knowledge about the polishing process, the cuts, the types and how the price is influenced by all this. We also got to see and try a lot of beautiful diamond jewellery! After this tour, in the diamond museum you could see the machines they used, how diamonds are created in nature, how they are found and what we can make out of them :) the tour included a lot of interactive elements, video, audio materials and it was fun to be in the mirror room! Some audio has a bit of a dated feel, but it was ok. :)

Intriguing museum charting the history of Amsterdam's love affair with the toughest stone on planet earth. We were saddened to learn that after the Jewish Dutch population were exterminated during WW2, the diamond market was significantly diminished and has failed to fully recover since. I was a little dismayed to discover that many of the diamonds and jewellery on display were replicas. Also, be aware that they try to entice you next door to the production area which is basically one giant marketing exercise and forces you to walk through several of their shops and sales people in order to exit!
