DIVA Museum for Diamonds, Jewellery and Silver is a modern museum in the heart of Antwerp that celebrates the city's centuries-old connection to the diamond trade. Housed in a beautifully restored 16th-century building, the museum offers an immersive journey through the glittering world of gems and precious metals. Visitors can explore interactive exhibits that explain the journey of a diamond from rough stone to polished gem, admire stunning pieces from renowned designers, and learn about the craftsmanship behind silverware.
