A couple looks on necklaces and other jewellery made from natural Baltic amber offered at a stall outside the amber shop on Mariacka Street in Gdask, Poland on March 10, 2026.

Together with drills, sanders, blasters, and power saws which look like they belong to a bygone era, virtual reality stations are used to combine earlier tools with state-of-the-art technology at the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdansk, a city on Poland's Baltic Coast known as amber's global capital.
