The Amber Room was the most famous masterpiece of Gdansk craftsmen. It was commissioned by Frederic I - King of Prussia. It consisted of amber picture frames, medallions, lockets, coats of arms and sculptures of Roman goddesses - Minerva and Pomona.

In 1717 Russian Emperor Peter the Great visited Berlin and desired to possess the Amber Room. The precious relic was moved in boxes to St. Petersburg. However, it was not reconstructed until 1743. The Amber Room was first opened in 1746 and then in 1755 moved to Tsarskoe Syolo.

The interior of Tsarskoe Syolo was bigger than original, so Empress Elizabeth I employed craftsmen to complete the work. The missing parts were replaced with mirrors and mosaics of Ural and Caucasian decorative stones. The ceiling was beautifully painted and the floor was covered with a mosaic of the most valuable wood. It was completed in the 70’s of the 18^th century.

In 1942, during World War II, the Germans reclaimed their lost treasure. They reassembled the room in the Krolewiec Castle (Koenigsberg). The dangers of the war, however, forced them to dismantle it again. Despite the extensive search, no trace of the missing amber treasure has been found since. Most probably the boxes with The Amber Room burned down during the fire of the Królewiec castle in April 1945.
In the late seventies of the 20^th century the reconstruction of The Amber Room began at Tsarskoe Syolo (later renamed Pushkino) under the supervision of Alexander Zhuravlow.
