Musée de la Pipe et du Diamant de Saint-Claude

The museum features exhibitions of pipes and diamonds, with collections displaying traditional manufacturing tools and historic smoking implements from around the world.

The museum opened in 1966 through collaboration between the Brotherhood of Master Pipe Makers and the Haut-Jura Diamond Dealers Association.

The museum's chapter hall hosts ceremonies twice yearly where new members join the Brotherhood of Master Pipe Makers, following local traditions.

Visitors can explore the museum daily from 9:30 to 12:00 and 14:00 to 18:30, with exhibits located near Saint-Claude Cathedral.
