Diamond Museum in Bruges
The Diamond Museum in Bruges is dedicated to the methods of stone processing. Belgium is rightfully considered the main diamond power in Europe; in its two cities, Antwerp and Bruges, already in the 14th century there was active trade in precious stones, as well as their further processing. It is not surprising that in both cities there are museums dedicated to diamonds.
