Thank you Ms Bogomazova for announcing the Amber Room's website! Russia has
a wealth of art, which is wonderful to view courtesy of the world wide web.
Well done.

THE AMBER ROOM ON THE WEB NOW
www.tzar.ru/amber
If the Amber Room had not disappeared during World War II, we would
celebrate its tercentenary in 2001. Prussian kings and Russian emperors,
architects and artists, leaders of the Third Reich and Soviet leaders,
Maecenases and businessmen, treasure hunters and outstanding scientists, not
to mention craftsmen, were involved in the history of the "Eighth Wonder of
the World".
New web site allows you to learn about the history, the present day news
concerning this famous masterpiece, and about the completion of its
reconstruction by a team of craftsmen of the RLS "The Tzarskoje Selo Amber
Workshop" with the financial support of the German private company "Ruhrgas
AG". In addition, you may assemble jigsaw puzzle with fragments of the Amber
Room on-line, record your impressions in the guest book
http://eng.tzar.ru/guestbook or fill in a special questionnaire for
visitors - http://eng.tzar.ru/guestbook/brief_survey
Today, the theme of reconstruction of the Amber Room is of primary
importance. Preserved photographs and archives help the roughly 40 art
experts to fashion the barely palm-sized thin amber pieces so that they
match the original in shape in colour and to carve fine ornaments, thus
recreating the legendary work of art like a huge puzzle from over half a
million pieces of amber. The time approaches when, before our very eyes, we
will see a replica which looks very much like original, but is a new work of
applied art, worthy of being on display in one of the best palace-museums of
the world: the Catherine Palace in Tzarskoje Selo (www.tzar.ru)
You are welcome!
