      • The museum is in the Dohna Tower — a round fortification of 1853, 34 metres across, on the shore of the Upper Lake.
      • The first part of the museum opened on 29 December 1979.
      • Nearby, in the village of Yantarny, is the largest known amber deposit, with more than 90% of the world’s reserves.
      • The tower was named after the Prussian field marshal Friedrich Karl zu Dohna.
      • In April 1945 the tower was a German strongpoint — it was taken during the storming of Königsberg.
