10. The Amber Room was recreated at Tsarskoe Selo
- The Soviet administration miscalculated the scale and complexity of recreating the Amber Room at Tsarskoe Selo in 1979. During St. Petersburg's 300th anniversary, the rebuilt Amber Room debuted in 2003 despite budgetary and craftsman shortages.
- The replica uses 350 colors of amber from the original panels and is ornately crafted by craftspeople.
