Worth seeing, however you can book the chocolate museum as a combo for a very reduced price. Trip advisor needs to offer that!
Interesting history but the museum is small and honestly, it’s a little lack luster.
I visited the museum in the summer and to my surprise, it was not full of people, which I was happy about. I got to interact with many objects, letting me understand more about the process of making the beautiful jewellery. What I liked about this museum especially is that it was giving "bite size" information, not overwhelming me with it (which happens often in most museums in my opinion). The staff was very kind, I got to chat a little bit with the man at the counter. Overall I had a very positive experience and I look back at it with a lot of joy.
Nice museum with lots of info about the history of Bruges as a centre for diamond merchants, and about the gemstone itself, how it's formed, mined, and cut and so on. It was a highlight of the trip for sure.
A very interesting small museum showing the history of diamond trade in Bruges. But make sure you are there for the diamond polishing demo which is both interesting and informative
it was a detailed and extensive experience definitely needs more time allocated to experience it in full all in all a good museum
surprisingly beautiful museum very well documented beautiful objects both jewellery and work tools Also what kind of children demo is a plus
Our visit to this museum turned out to be a pleasant surprise. Those who think they will only find a static exhibition are mistaken: here you get a fascinating insight into the fascinating process of diamond processing — from rough stone to sparkling jewel. Don’t expect a showcase full of glittering masterpieces; this museum is all about the craftsmanship behind the diamond. The real added value is therefore in the live demonstration. Thanks to the expert explanation of a passionate employee, we got a clear picture of the delicate grinding process. She answered our questions with knowledge and gave the whole thing a personal touch. Our advice: just don’t skip this museum, but make sure you catch the live demonstration. It takes your visit to a whole other level.
A little skeptical considering the comments found on this site, we chose to visit this museum anyway and fortunately! We arrived just before noon to have a place in the demonstration room. Clear explanations and in several languages, it was really interesting to discover the work around the engraved diamond at this demonstration. Very friendly staff. The rest of the visit is autonomous and is also very rich (not too many details, not too few, good explanatory panels and in several languages, many objects related to the job...). We were delighted (our teenagers too, which is a good sign).
This museum is interesting and complete about everything you need to know about diamonds but it is especially the temple keeper, a passionate, who makes the visit unique. You have to go around 12:00 because he's doing demonstrations.
