Situated in the bustling heart of the world-famous Clock Tower precinct and Gateway to Robben Island at the V&A Waterfront, the Cape Town Diamond Museum pays tribute to the world’s most precious gem, the diamond. Witness a 3 billion year old story unfold from a diamond’s formation to the final polished stone.
