Amsterdam is famed for many things, from its sumptuous architecture like the Dam square and the picturesque canal-side walks, to its cultural heritage in the shape of the gothic pearl, the Rijksmuseum, with its breathtaking displays of old masters, the uber-modern Vincent Van Gogh Museum, and Anne Frank’s House. Of course, the Red Light District’s liberality and sense of fun is also world famous, and another aspect of the city’s past and present that is known the world over is its role in the global diamond trade.
And as diamonds are a girl’s best friend (and every boy should know what look for when buying one!), the Diamond Museum Amsterdam is a must-see for anyone visiting the city.
The Diamond Museum Amsterdam charts the genesis of diamonds from their origins some three billion years ago, over 100 miles beneath the earth’s crust, to the dazzling jewellery that adorns many a movie or pop star, or simply a loved one. It’s literally an incendiary story, charting how carbon is pressured and pulverized into its diamond form, then extracted by deep mining, exported for working, polishing and finishing, and then presented to the world at the Amsterdam diamond exchanges that lie at the heart of the world gem-stone trade.
With a museum shop and coffee shop on site, a visit to the Diamond Museum Amsterdam will be a richly refreshing and rewarding experience for anyone who’d like to see how the world’s most precious stones come into being. You’ll certainly leave with a glint in your eye!
Public transport to the Diamond Museum Amsterdam is by Tram 2 and 5, via buses that stop directly outside it, or by canal boat alighting at dock at the front of the Rijksmuseum, before a walk of a few minutes. Car parking is available opposite the Concertgebouw.
