The Amber Room
Get ready to scratch your head. The Amber Room once was a lavish room that impressed visitors with its rich amber panels which had golden leaves and massive mirrors. The room was tucked in the Catherine Palace of Tsarskoye Selo. During the Second World War, the Nazis looted the luxurious room. The Germans took the contents back to Germany where they intended to rebuild the room. To this day however, the contents of the room are nowhere to be found.

One question that you’re guaranteed to get the same answer to every time is, “What’s the time?” The answer will always be “2:10”, when you’re in the White Dining Room of the Hermitage House. It was at 2:10 precisely on October 25, 1917 that Russia became a communist country. There’s no turning the time back on that one… ba dam dam dish!
