keys for reference:
a. i have no idea about the fate of the amber room. because anything can happen to it. maybe it was destroyed at war in the fighting fire. you see, ambers can be melted easily. maybe it was kept secretly by somebody who had died without telling about it to anyone else. so maybe it is lying somewhere quietly.
b. i think it is worthwhile to reproduce the amber room. because it represents the culture and a period of history in st. petersburg. it is a trace and feature surviving from a past age and serving to remind people of a lost time.
