Catherine Palace part two objects

The amount and the quality of the items in Catherine's Palace was simply amazing. There were clocks everywhere, works of art, paintings, sculpture, period clothing, intricate pieces made out of amber. In fact there's an entire room devoted just to amber. Usually you are not allowed to take pictures of the amber room but since we are so special we were granted permission.  Since the palace was damaged extensively in WWII they had to recreate it using old information. It ended up being filled with the lot of the last tsar possessions and a tribute to them.

Once again the Clarks were not running. Perhaps it's due to the fact that if they are rang at the same time it would be deafening
