★★★★★3 months agoA really interesting place to learn more about diamonds. The exhibition is very comprehensive and covers everything from how diamonds are formed to how they are traded and crafted. There’s a good mix of information and nicely presented displays, so it never feels boring. Even if you don’t know much about diamonds, it’s easy to follow and quite engaging. You can easily spend a good amount of time here without noticing. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Antwerp and want to learn something new.

★★★★★a year agoWhile visiting Antwerp for a day visit to see the diamond district and Old Town, came upon the darling little DIVA Museum! Well, well, diamonds truly are a girl's best friend! The staff was friendly. The wait for tickets was short and the fun of diamonds begins at the top floor and then down! Loved the ability to see contemporary artist jewelry for sale. Loved the playful displays and interactive audio with displays! Loved the story of diamond production--very interesting!! A must see when in Old Town because history rocks in diamonds!
