English: You are not allowed to take pictures of the Amber Room, these are not great but all I could manage to get shooting from the hip. The amber room is the most famous room in the palace, and was used as a study. The 16-foot panels were constructed of over 100,000 perfectly fitted pieces of amber. The Nazis dismantled the amber panels and shipped them to Germany during World War II, and they have never been found. Much mystery surrounds the fate of the amber room panels, and many Russians believe that they still exist somewhere in Germany. Russian artists began recreating the amber panels using the old techniques in the early 1980's, and the room was opened to the public in 2003.
