Trip to Pushkin (museum-reserve in the town of Pushkin (St. Petersburg), including the palace with amber room and park ensemble of the XVIII-XIX centuries, the former suburban royal residence, turned into a museum after the nationalization in March 1918) The Amber Room ( Yantarnaya Komnata ) was a chamber decorated in amber panels backed with gold leaf and mirrors.
Constructed in the 18th century in Prussia, the room was dismantled and eventually disappeared during World War II. Before its loss, it was considered an "Eighth Wonder of the World". A reconstruction was made, starting in 1979 and completed and installed in the Catherine Palace in 2003.The Amber Room was looted during World War II by the Army Group North of Nazi Germany and taken to Koenigsberg for reconstruction and display. Some time in early 1944, with Allied forces closing in on Germany, the room was disassembled and crated for storage in the Castle basement. Koenigsberg was destroyed by allied bombers in August 1944 and documentation of the room location ends there. Its eventual fate and current whereabouts, if it survives, remain a mystery. In 1979 the decision was taken to create a reconstructed Amber Room at the Catherine Palace in Pushkin. After decades of work by Russian craftsmen and donations from Germany, it was completed and inaugurated in 2003.
