Cups, goblets, bowls, and cutlery made from amber once adorned the homes of affluent Europeans and served as gifts for monarchs. From 27 October, the exhibition «The Art of Taste» will showcase how this sunlit stone transformed from a natural material into an object of dining luxury. The exhibition will feature over one hundred items from the museum’s collection, as well as porcelain from private collections. Among the exhibits are historical vessels, salt cellars, and table setting elements where amber is combined with other materials. Some pieces were created more for decorating interiors and collections than for everyday use.

A distinct section of the exhibition is dedicated to contemporary craftsmen from Kaliningrad. Their works continue the tradition of creating amber tableware, reimagining familiar forms of goblets, sauce boats and cutlery. Thus, the material, more commonly associated with jewellery, is revealed in everyday cultural objects.

The exhibition «The Art of Taste: Amber Tableware and Decorative Items» will be open until 13 December 2026.
