Synopsis
Curator: Veronika Donskaya
“Stepping inside the Amber Room in the Catherine Palace museum outside St.Petersburg is like slipping into a fairy tale…
But as with many fairy tales, especially the Russian ones, there is a dark side to the Amber Room too, a shadow of legend and open-ended mystery”
[Forbes Magazine, 29/03/2004]
Dubbed the "Eighth Wonder of the World," the Amber room that once symbolized peace, was stolen by Nazis during World War II then disappeared for good and has been recreated and inaugurated in 2003 in the Catherine Palace in Saint-Petersburg, Russia
