Diamond Fund

About museum

At the 'Diamond Fund' exhibition, opened in 1967 on the territory of the Moscow Kremlin and serving as a structural subdivision of the Gokhran of Russia, the valuables of the Diamond Fund of the Russian Federation are displayed. They constitute a collection of unique nuggets of precious metals and gemstones that have historical and artistic significance, as well as a collection of unique jewelry and other objects made of precious metals and gemstones. The collection, which undoubtedly ranks among the most important and largest collections in the world, forms the best-known part of the State Fund's treasury.
