Description
Visit the Diamond Museum and become a diamond expert! While our museum prepares for its new home, the highlights of the collection are on show in a temporary exhibition, combined with a guided diamond factory tour on one ticket.
Your visit starts on the factory floor, where actual diamond polishers and goldsmiths turn rough stones into the most beautiful jewellery, and you discover the art of diamond valuation with the 4 C's: Carat, Clarity, Colour and Cut.
Then the Diamond Museum Highlights exhibition sends you on a journey that starts 200 kilometres below the earth. You will learn how diamonds are formed through a process of billions of years to their final shape we all know and love. Be enchanted by glittering diamonds, admire the Ape skull set with 17,000 diamonds, and come face to face with replicas of the Koh-i-Noor, the Cullinan and the crowns of kings.

Admission included
Located between the Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh Museum at the famous Museum Square you will find the Diamond Museum Amsterdam. While the museum prepares for its new home, the highlights of the collection are on show in a temporary exhibition, with a guided diamond factory tour on one ticket.
Amsterdam has been the City of Diamonds for four centuries, and many famous stones were cut here, such as the Cullinan (the largest diamond ever found) and the Koh-i-Noor (the mountain of light). Learn about every aspect of the world of diamonds. From the origins of diamonds, to the valuation, different types of diamond and the attributes that make them special and so valuable.
Watch master polishers turn rough stones into brilliants in front of you during a 30 minute guided factory tour, gaze upon the diamond encrusted version of 'Starry Starry Night' by van Gogh, see how kings throughout history showed their power and status through our replica crowns and the famous diamond-studded ape skull.

Really Bad experience
I have paid 9 euro to have an audio guide with very few explanations on the process. Workers were doing nothing at the moment of the visit.We have ended the tour in less than 30 mins . It Is like to pay to just enter in a jewellery.
Operator response

Huge diamond replicas.
Great museum. Although mostly replicas, the guide was very knowledgeable. It helped when I and my wife visited the "Tower of London" and saw the crown jewels.

Amazing experience! The tour was incredibly fascinating, and the hospitality was absolutely perfect. A special mention to Mr. Simone Pilla for his kindness, professionalism, and for guiding us through the incredible world of diamonds. His passion and knowledge made the visit truly unforgettable.

Nice but a bit superficial
A very pleasant visit, with a friendly and smiling guide: it makes all the difference. One small downside, we did not take many things.

A really good tour
The tour was excellent, with a very informative guide, who clearly loved his job.
As well as an understanding of the work of diamond polishing, the way they are valued and presented, we got to see a wide range of diamonds up close.

Wonderful tour experience!
We had a wonderful time on our tour. We were able to talk with one of the diamond polishers and learn so much! Our tour guide took us in a special room and showed us some loose diamonds and some diamonds under a microscope, and that was fabulous. The tour guide was so good at answering all our questions, and made it a really fun experience. I highly recommend a tour, and would definitely trust Royal Coster Diamonds if I was looking to buy a diamond.
