DIVA
Step inside DIVA and marvel at the beauty of diamonds, jewellery and silver in the revamped permanent expo 'DIVA, a Brilliant Story'.
From the 15th century, Antwerp's Grote Markt and the surrounding streets were the 'place to be' for anyone who was looking to find objects made of gold, silver and gemstones. Join us on a journey in the diamond capital of the world and discover the stories from raw material to object, from Antwerp's heyday to today. In one story, spread over seven rooms, you will discover DIVA's magnificent collection and the extraordinary craftsmanship of not only diamond workers, but also gold- and silversmiths.
