Where can you find the DIVA workshop?

The DIVA workshop is located at Kaasstraat 7. TThe workshop guides will wait for their group in the entrance hall of the museum (Suikerrui 17/19).

Is the museum intended for people with limited mobility?

DIVA is accessible for (electric) wheelchairs and walkers. All exhibition rooms are accessible by lift. To use the lift, you sometimes have to deviate from the planned route. Our staff in the museum halls will be happy to show you the way. Adapted toilets can be found on floor -1. DIVA provides a wheelchair and 20 folding chairs, which are available at the front desk.

  • Casting is just one of the many techniques a silversmith can use. In this workshop, your students will be guided step by step through the Delft sand casting method. Working in pairs, they will fill a mould with Delft sand and design their own ring. The final step? Pouring molten metal into the mould. Let it cool, and it’s done!
  • But make no mistake, this is more than just a workshop. After all, silversmithing is as much about science as it is about craftsmanship. What is an alloy? What are the properties of different metals? How hot does metal need to be to melt? By the end of the workshop, your students will have a solid understanding of metals, their characteristics, and their applications.
