DIVA is a museum in Antwerp for jewellery, silver and diamonds. Its permanent exhibition, "DIVA, a Brilliant Story", shows the stages of a piece of jewellery or silverware from the mine to the finished product, and presents about 650 diamonds, jewellery and silver objects from the 15th century to the present day. Temporary exhibitions in 2026 include "Rings That Rock" on diamond rings and a display of new jewellery by artist Charlotte Vanhoubroeck.

The museum offers exhibitions, a shop with gifts and souvenirs, and workshops in its atelier for goldsmiths and silversmiths, both specialists and amateurs. It has a specialised library reading room, hosts artists in residence working in silversmithing and jewellery design, and rents its spaces for exhibitions, meetings and events. It also lends from its collections on request.

DIVA is located in the centre of Antwerp, a city the museum describes as the diamond capital of the world for more than 575 years. Its mission is to be the hub for jewellery, silver and diamonds in Flanders for the general public, enthusiasts and professionals. The website is published in English and offers a monthly newsletter.
