The Eighth Wonder of the World. A priceless piece of art. The world’s greatest lost treasure. A marvel of Baroque architecture. Opulent. Dazzling. Unique. These are just a few ways that Russia’s Amber Room has been described. A room crafted entirely from amber, gold and precious stones that served as a space for the country’s royalty for centuries. However, in the dying days of WW2, the Amber Room vanished from its Russian palace home, and it has never been seen again. Today, a replica stands in its place. How did an entire room disappear and why hasn’t it been discovered in the last eight decades? This is the tale of the mysterious Amber Room.
