2. The Amber Room

Another piece of fine art was lost in the fallout of the war against the Third Reich. This room was originally built by Germans in the 1700s by slapping amber all over it. The Russian Tsar loved it so much that he eventually had it given to him as a gift and added a lot more amber to the room.
