Situated in a 19th-century monumental building, Amsterdam's Diamond Museum has to be on the bucket list for everyone who is fascinated by one of the most valuable precious stones in the world. Here, you will embark on a journey that starts right below the surface of the Earth and ends as a symbol of wealth and power on a person.
Along with learning how diamonds are formed and processed, you will be able to admire some of the best collections of diamond artifacts including replica tiaras and crowns. Some of the most noteworthy artifacts include the smallest diamond ever cut, the Katana (Japanese sword) of Murano glass that is adorned with 1967 diamonds and 494 rubies, and the famous Ape Skull. Bedecked with 17,000 beautiful diamonds, it takes inspiration from Damien Hirst's sculpture of a diamond-encrusted human skull.
The Diamond Heist
Why just admire the diamonds from afar when you can steal one? Enter a dark room and try to reach the biggest diamond you have ever seen. But it's not going to be so easy - first, you have to maneuver past the smoke and laser beams that will go off if you touch one. Visit this incredible museum to get an experience of a diamond robbery in a setting akin to escape rooms.
