Just a stone’s throw away from the Van Gogh Museum, the Diamond Museum has cut out a niche for itself on the Museumplein.
If you are hard-pressed to find a new experience in Amsterdam, then bling-a-ding-ding…the Diamond Museum should do flawlessly! Here, you can gain clarity regarding the history of the diamond trade in Amsterdam while gazing at a radiant collection of well-known diamonds.
The Rembrandt Diamond might the marquise name at the Diamond Museum; but, it isn’t the only draw this multi-faceted tourist hotspot. Home to the Ape Skull, the Glamour Room allows you to experience what it would be like to be trapped inside of a diamond. And, the world-famous, jewel-encrusted Katana sparkles inside its case.
Free access to the adjacent Diamond Factory is included with your ticket to the Diamond Museum. You can watch craftsmen at work while you learn about how diamonds are processed. So, you should definitely make sure the Diamond Museum is an inclusion on your list of Amsterdam’s must-see attractions.
