About

Founded in 2007 by Ben Meier and housed in a historic 19th‑century villa, the museum showcases over 300 years of diamond history, from mineshafts to runway sparkle. Highlights include the international ‘City of Diamonds’ exhibition that traces Amsterdam’s glittering heritage, the Crown Collection replicas of royal regalia, and a dazzling array of special diamond objects such as the Diamond Katana and diamond‑engraved watch. Whether you’re a seasoned gem‑enthusiast, a family looking for an engaging afternoon, or a curious traveler eager to learn the four C’s of diamonds, the museum’s curated galleries and interactive scavenger hunt for children make it a must‑visit destination in the Netherlands.
