Than this is the place to go! Here you'll find a huge collection of the rarest jewellery of Russian Tsar dynasty as well as from other higher caste families. This gives you also some kind of aesthetic pleasure because even if you don't think about the cost of every art piece this is simply beautiful.

These jewels are amazing and the gold bullion blocks a thrill so see and large lumps (yes lumps!) of Gold quite unbelivable. I loved it a real delight to savour!

Quick tour and really impressive display of diamonds. I LOVED it! The trick is getting the tickets. Here's my advice. Take the metro to Biblioteka (actually do yourself a favor and get a metro map with Cyrillic Russian names to avoid confusion, as there are no street or metro signs displaying the Anglicized names. (Biblioteka Imeni Lenina = Библиотека имени... More

Firstly, if you want to see the Diamond fund, make sure to get to Kremlin early in the morning. There are no reservations beforehand and the ticket sale is directy inside Kremlin so you have to get inside early. In high season they might give you time ticket at half past ten for 3 p.m. Don't be alarmed by this,... More

There are some incredible pieces of jewellery here, including the Imperial crown. Well worth a visit. It also had some of the cheapest souvenirs we found in Moscow, and they were good quality.

So, this exhibit is a must see in my opinion. We did it as an after thought while touring the armory exhibit and would not have known about it otherwise. The cost of 500 Rubels was in addition to the armory cost. Note to travelers. You MUST check any phones or cameras at the cloakroom. Unfortunately, this leaves you prey... More

We enjoyed seeing the the jewels, gold bars, etc. Inside the Diamond Fund. It is $15. Per person to enter and takes about 30 minutes to see. It was empty except for one large group, so we took our time. I wouldn't wait in line to see it if crowded, but since we walked right in, it was worth it.... More

Dazzling display that will leave you stunned. Other reviewers have pretty much said it all but the one thing that I would add is that the Fund is closed for the whole of January every year so if you are travelling to Moscow around this time with the hope of visiting the Diamond Fund, try to schedule your visit to...

Amazing tsarist jewels and massive nuggets from Russian mines! This is much easier to get into than the armoury and they seem to give foreigners preference.
