The museum displays the aesthetics, culture and history of diamonds from the start of human history up to this day as well as details about the diamond industry in Israel. The Harry Oppenheimer Diamond Museum opened last month in the Diamond Exchange Are in Ramat Gan. Among other things, it displays models of some of the world's most famous diamonds, including a model of the Kōh-i Nūr Diamond, discovered approximately 5,000 years ago and currently set in the Queen of England's crown. The list of models also includes the Taylor-Burton diamond, given to Elizabeth Taylor by her husband Richard Burton on her 40th birthday and sold to a New-York jeweller when they divorced, as well as diamond-set accessories such as an hourglass whose grains are made of diamonds, a diamond-set tennis ball, brooches in the spirit of the Bible with diamonds on them and more. As part of the visit to the museum, visitors will be able to watch a video describing the manufacturing process of diamonds, starting with their formation and mining, followed by their processing and polishing and ending with their trade in diamond exchanges and setting them in jewellery and ornaments. The museum halls are completely darkened, and only concentrated beams of light illuminate the diamonds in the darkness. The site also has temporary exhibitions, illuminating different facets of the diamond production world. "The Roar of the Diamond" exhibition currently displayed in the museum shows diamond-set jewellery made by South African designers inspired by their country's landscapes and their traditions. Jewels from this exhibit won the Shining Light Award – the "De Beers" group international jewellery design competition. The museum is open Sundays through Thursdays between 10:00 and 16:00, on Tuesdays it is open until 18:00 and on Fridays between 09:00-12:00
