The Greeks believed that amber represented the petrified rays of the sun. Imagine a gloriously decorated room covered with panels of amber, glowing and catching the light. It is not surprising that the Amber Room at the Catherine Palace in Pushkin has been considered to be the Eighth Wonder of the World.
King Friedrich Wilhelm I of Prussia presented the room as a diplomatic gift to Peter the Great in 1717. The whole story will be revealed when you come to St. Petersburg and visit the Pushkin Ball organised by the Grand Hotel Europe and the Pushkin Fund on the 11th of October 2008.
