The museum has good history and relevant knowledge about gems in the country. If you are looking for shopping take cheap stones from ground floor. Avoid the costlier ones if you dont have good knowledge of the quality.

It is held gem stone exhibition at Gem Museum. At that time there is crowded. There are many visitors of local and international. mostly are Chinese. When there is gem museum, the taxi drivers are happy very much because they have a chance to send somewhere. Please be in mind, there are a lot of Chinese smoking at public place.

Myanmar is famous for its precious stones such as ruby, diamond, jade etc. Every stone has a story to tell and it begins here. . .Its a good place to start to understand the origin of these gem stones, the amount of efforts put into it to make it to the final stage where they find their ultimate destiny with some adorning the necks of royalty.Below the museum is the emporium where visitors can buy whats within their budget. You can rest assured that they are of quality made and genuine unlike those sold outside.

So much for you to learn and see. If you are really into gems, dedicate more than 2 hours to your visit. Labels are in English and Burmese. I had a staff member, a geology graduate go around and explain some things that were not clear to me and she went above and beyond. I dont know how well English is spoken in general, but they used geological/gemmological terms in English while explaining in Burmese which was extra helpful. They feature a large array of stones in their native and natural forms as well as polished, faceted and for some in their set versions. They have some carvings and decorative pieces and jewellery from as far back as the 1800s but that was limited. Jadeite is what they showcase most. Strictly no photography but they will permit you to enter with your phone (I used mine for research). Really impressive place. Closes 4:20pm; 7000ks/2000ks entrance. I must return.

Gem Museum supervised and controlled by Ministry of Mines before and now under Natural Resources and Environmental Conservation Ministry. Most of valuable Gem ( Ruby Saphire could be located Mogok Township Northern Myanmar collected from White Marble.Ruby Saphire Jade and various kinds of not much valuable Gem also shown overthere.When you enter the building you can see Myanmar King going to sell Highest valuable Ruby to one of foreigner.The foreigner so amazing the price of The Kings Ruby because cant able to fix the price.He surrender to buy that Ruby because of the price . We expect that Ruby could be located the hat of Queen England.You better visit to Gem Museum.

Museum is very good. Be careful about the shops below it. They are exorbitantly costly and there is absolutely no guarantee about the quality of material sold there. The people who sell their are neither authorized by the Government nor are they in any way controlled for their material quality by the Government of Myanmar.

A really interesting museum to visit, it will occupy probably half a day, with half of that spent on looking at all those jade, gems, and other stone - and the other on shopping for them. The cost of the ticket which I forget is well worth it. You will need to place your belongings in a locker, understandably, before entering the museum. The jade and precious stones are a wonder to behold. There are English speaker assistants around to explain to you the display but if you are in a hurry it can become a hindrance but if you have time its really best to learn from them. You cant take pictures in the museum! Equally awesome is the shopping part. You can spend anywhere from 1USD to 100USD to 1000USD depending on what you buy. I usually buy the USD1 jade bracelets or the tigers eye for I think 3 for USD5. You can buy elephant figurines too in jade! Pay in USD because you get a better price. Best to buy whatever you want and to as much your budget will allow - squeeze every dollar, you will regret it if you dont! Enjoy!

Not really a proper museum but simply a collection of different types of stones. Cost USD7.00 entry fee. Not really worth it.But the market place with stalls selling gem stones are worth buying from. Friends say they bought genuine stones at very good prices. I didnt buy any.

Impressive yet uninteresting.Theres no information boards explaining the stories behind the pieces (just maybe the dimensions and place of origin).Would be better if there were bilingual signs explaining interesting information about the items.

Huge surcharge for foreigners. 6800 kyats. Stop taking advantage of people that are trying to learn about your country. Lots of Jade carvings and precious/semiprecious minerals. Photos not allowed inside as far as we were informed. Not much educational info provided. Jewellery store first floor, huge. No AC in the store.
