Museum dedicated to the history and manufacture of diamonds with a collection of nearly 600 objects, a jewelry store on site
The sparkling stone that has made the city rich since the 16th century, and still attracts an international trade of diamond dealers, jewelers and goldsmiths to the area today, is being honored by DIVA. A Brilliant Story, a permanent exhibition on the history and manufacture of diamonds, covers some 500m2 and features some 650 objects (diamonds, jewels and works of art). There's also a documentation center, temporary exhibitions, a jewelry store and jewelry-making workshops.

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.
