Until 1997, a twenty-meter wide cobblestone road crossed Museumplein. Popularly, this road was also called 'the shortest highway in the Netherlands'. The Swedish-Danish landscape architect Sven-Ingvar Andersson was chosen as the designer of the current square. He made a design with two underground parking garages. At the place where the 'shortest highway' split, Andersson designed a rectangular pond.
Lizzy Cottage was built in 1902 by A.W. Weismann and named after the second wife of the owner Engelbertus van Essen. Look at the gold frieze above the bay window. Putti's can be found here. A putti is a chubby child and is mainly found in Renaissance, Baroque and Rococo art.
Since the 16th century, Amsterdam has experienced a flourishing diamond industry. At the end of 1900, more than 700 polishing wheels were in use in Amsterdam. These polishing wheels have been used for famous diamonds such as the Cullinan, the largest diamond ever found, and the Koh-i-Noor. This history of diamonds in Amsterdam makes this city the perfect place for the diamond museum.
