Message from Management
Diva is a diamond and goldsmith museum located in Antwerp, the world capital of diamonds. It offers a permanent exhibition to discover the different stages of the manufacturing of a jewel or a silver object, from the mine to the finished product. We also discover the method of extraction of diamonds and the work of goldsmiths. The latter allows you to learn more about the art and use of these manufactured objects. The museum's collection features more than 600 diamonds, jewelry and silver objects from the 15th century to the present day in six charming themed rooms.

The ratings and reviews below reflect the subjective opinions of members and not the opinion of The Little Witty.
2.Museum's working hours are really comfortable.
3.Entrance fee is reasonable
Antwerp is famous for its tight connection with diamond's trading and cutting over the centuries and the DIVA museum of diamonds has a lot to show you about that connection.
The museum's audio guide provides informative insights into each display. Thus both tourists and locals will have an opportunity to not only admire the shiny diamonds but also learn about their history and origin.
Museum's working hours are really comfortable. They work every day except Wednesday until 6PM, so it is very comfortable to schedule a visit beforehand.
Entrance fee is reasonable. If you have kids, their entrance will be for free. They have flexible pricing for group visits as well.
I definitely suggest anyone check this museum, it won't take much time but will be an interesting experience. Flexible working hours and reasonable prices make it available for everyone.
