Diamant Museum Amsterdam: from cutting to exhibition

The Diamant Museum Amsterdam offers a visit that begins at a cutting workshop. A demonstration with explanations is followed by a self-guided tour of the exhibition.

Seeing a stone being worked

During the demonstration, ask which processes are being shown and what they change about a stone. The explanation makes it easier to look specifically at shape and finish later in the exhibition.

Then on your own

The museum information mentions texts accessible via QR codes, in English.

Choosing the right entrance

The exhibition is described as being at Paulus Potterstraat 6, with access via number 2. That distinction is useful on arrival, especially as older information may refer to an earlier phase of visiting.

Take your questions about cutting along to the demonstration.

Before you go

If you have limited mobility, ask about the complete route between entrance, workshop and exhibition.
