The Big Hole Museum

5 Ales Tvrdy - 8 months ago

A nice place where is quite a lot of things to do. The short movie was nice and explained to me more about the mining history in the area of Kimberley.
There are also some of the exhibitions inside about the diamonds and with the guide is everything easy to get and understand ????

This is one of those places you have to see at least once in your life. A very clean, well run museum. The big hole is something you have to see to believe and the exhibits are impressive and very informative. My kids weren't sure what to expect but we're really glad we made the stop.

What a wonderful outing for the kids. We learnt lots about diamond and had a wonderful experience walking around the village. The tram ride was also fun and I really enjoyable experience.

Informative and great for the kids to explore. The roads around the big hole especially the tram route very disappointing

The museum offers a spectacular tour of the underground mining shafts, along with a score/sound that resembles what was experienced back when it was operational. There’s a wall of history, showing how diamonds are formed till to the point where they are cut and shaped for various usages. There’s replica’s of some of the world’s most important diamonds, a history of how the mine was developed along with miniatures of the mine itself on display. There’s a video session as well, playing a reenactment of the diamond rush from ages ago. It’s truly a great place to learn the history of the diamond rush.
