The Grand Embassy Historical and Cultural Centre at the Koenig Gate is step by step changing its exhibitions.Late last year, The Apotheke of the Three Kings was opened in the third hall. Visitors can have a fascinating tour around the pharmacies of Koenigsberg as well as move to three different epochs: the State of the Teutonic Order, the Duchy, and the Kingdom.

And the central hall has been already transformed, too - the exposition Under the Russian Reign has opened here. It is devoted to the historic period when East Prussia was a part of the Russian Empire. Here visitors can see copies of the documents, plans, maps, engravings, etc., which narrate the story about the old time, interesting people and their life.

The key artifacts – works by Ludmila Bogatova, Honoured Artist of Russia. Sculptures of Russian governors in East Prussia are made in the tradition of grand portrait, this will certainly create the atmosphere of greatness and solemnity.

 The Museum of the World Ocean expresses its gratitude to the Russian MFA Representation in Kaliningrad for the copies of materials from the Archive of Foreign Policy of the Russian Empire and a consultant Yuri Kostyashov, Doctor of History, Professor at the Institute of the Humanities (Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University).
