    The Bruges Diamond Museum was opened on June 19, 1999. The museum has since been expanded in several phases. In 2005, the Brazilian collection and the museum section on synthetic and industrial diamonds were opened.



    Research in the Bruges city archives in collaboration with local historian Ludo Vandamme confirmed that diamonds were traded in Bruges long before they were known in Antwerp and Amsterdam, and a number of diamond workers active in Bruges in the 14th century were identified.

    Small, nice museum that gives a nice insight into the history of diamonds and behind the diamonds
