Kaliningrad Regional Amber Museum, Amber museum in Kaliningrad, Russia

The Kaliningrad Regional Amber Museum occupies the Don Tower and the Rossgarten Gate, a red-brick fortification begun in 1853 under Karl Friedrich Emil zu Dohna-Schlobitten. The tower's stepped, crenellated top carries a thin pole with a small red flag, and a row of recessed arched corbels runs below it. A plaque sits left of the open metal gate, and the exhibition fills 28 rooms on three floors.

The museum was decided on in 1969 and housed in the Dohna Tower with the Rossgarten Gate, a fortification built by Karl Friedrich Emil zu Dohna-Schlobitten during the Napoleonic Wars. Restoration of the complex took ten years, and the first stage opened on 29 December 1979 as a branch of the Kaliningrad Regional Historical and Art Museum. In March 2003 it became an independent legal entity.

The museum's name refers to amber, the fossilized resin found along the region's beaches and central to local craft tradition for centuries. Visitors see display cases with polished and raw material, as well as finished pieces that show how artisans shape the golden stone into jewelry and figurines.

The museum stands in central Kaliningrad and is easy to reach by public transport. The rooms are laid out clearly, and guided tours along with information materials help visitors understand the exhibits better.

The museum holds over 3,000 amber inclusions, among them a small lizard. It also keeps fragments of the Amber Room decor, restored by artists including G. Khozatsky and A. Zhuravlev, who revived the 17th–18th-century amber-working technique.
