Victoria Memorial Overview

Another remembrance of the British Raj in India, the Victoria Memorial is located in the heart of Kolkata, in West Bengal, India. This white marbled opulent structure was built in memory of Queen Victoria to celebrate her 25 years of rule over India and is almost a  replica of the Victoria Memorial in London. Victoria Memorial is an iconic structure that is conterminous with the city of joy!



So apart from the magnificent edifice and the sprawling green lawns surrounding the memorial are an ideal place to hang out and go for morning walks in Kolkata. The gardens cover an area of about 57 acres and feature statues of Queen Victoria, Charles Cornwallis, Arthur Wellesley and Rajendra Nath Mukherjee, among others. The property is now under the control of the Ministry of Culture so it’s a very big travel places for visitors.

Victoria Memorial Kolkata

This historical building is one of the top museums in Kolkata. There are 25 galleries inside the memorial, including the Calcutta Gallery, Portrait Gallery, Royal Gallery, Sculpture Gallery, and the National Leaders Gallery, to mention a few. The Victoria Memorial Museum is home to over 28,000 artefacts, including paintings, weapons, textiles, coins, and stamps among others and maintains few possessions of the Queen like her writing desk and chair and scrap books so this place is very much peerless.




Victoria Memorial holds a light and sound show called as SON-ET-LUMIERE from October to June. This interesting show does not showcase on Monday, Holly festival, national holidays and also remains closed from July to September.
