The Amber Room of the Catherine Palace

[ChristineM]

Boris Yegdalov (the amber master) used to always say that the Amber Room 'would no sooner be finished than the original would be found'.

As the Navajo say "Nothing stays buried forever."

Just read an article where a descendant of the man who's father had many artworks by famous artists since WWII says his father knew what happened to the amber room and where the amber is stored.

Thought I share.

Well, the headline describes him as a "weirdo", and goes on to say that even his own family thinks he is "not right in the head" (my words not theirs, just paraphrasing).  He lied about the art being destroyed in the bombing of Dresden.  I don't put much credence to his claim that he "can tell you were the Amber Room is". Especially since the answer of that might just be "The Amber Room is in ashes in the ruins of Konigsberg Castle."

Joanna, the photo you posted in your link above is the first I've ever seen of the Amber Room with its windows.  It's stunning.  Thanks so much for providing this new perspective (at least for me) of this magnificent room.

I am in awe of the photographer's shot of the room. I had never realized the amber room was so beautiful with its ceiling, doors and windows.

There is this show on the History Channel called Hunting Nazi Treasure, in which they try to track down priceless works of art that the Nazis looted, which is still missing today.

Last night they talked about the Amber Room and where it might have gone.  One theory is that it's still in Russia, in Kaliningrad.  That part of Russia was once part of Germany, and the theory is that the Nazis hid it in an underground bunker, as the Soviets approached, and then sealed the bunker off. 

There is this fellow who wants to dig the bunker up.  However, safety concerns have so far thwarted that effort. 

I wonder if the Amber Room is indeed in that bunker.

I've always wondered, now that the Amber Room has been reconstructed, what would happen to the original should it ever be found?

The reconstructed Amber Room is a work of art that will be a wonder for centuries. Wasn't the original Amber Room first placed in the Winter Palace, dismantled and moved by the Empress to the Catherine Palace? If the original or parts are one day discovered, it will probably be displayed either in St. Petersburg or Moscow.

There is a group called the Monuments men Foundation that is on the hunt for Nazi loot. They sometime have programs on the American Heros Channel including one on the Amber room. I saw it and they think it may be buried in Kaliningrad  as well. The channel does repeat programs so if you keep an I on their schudual you might be able to see it.

I believe the Discovery channel Expedition Unknown program did do one on the Amber Room.

I hope this is of some help.
