Amber Room re-opens
Art and luxury in Russia
The Amber Room of the Tsarskoe Selo Palace re-opens to tourists in St Petersburg.
A triumph of lights and flaunt wanted in 1726 by the Tsar Peter for Frederick William I King of Prussia, to emphasize the peace established between the two states and their alliance against Sweden. A sublime place, located inside one of the former majestic residences of the Russian Imperial family, with a winter garden of rare beauty.
The Amber Room is one of the most popular “cards” of this history.
Originally it was fully inset with precious gems, then the Room was plundered by the Germans and lost during the Second World War.
After 25 years of renovations and 11 millions dollars spent, today the Amber Room of Tsarskoe Selo is open again for the tourists, that will be able to play the game of looking for the six different tones of amber and yellow (lemon, pear, honey, mustard, apricot, gold and saffron) of the boiserie, together with the precious gems with which it is inset.
A not-to-be-missed destination for your holiday in St Petersburg.
