Victoria Memorial Hall (Kolkata, India)

The Victoria Memorial Hall in Kolkata (Calcutta) was conceived by the Viceroy Lord Curzon and built to commemorate the life and times of Queen Victoria, Empress of India. Today it serves as a museum of Victoria and Victorian memorabilia. The building was designed by Sir William Emerson in the Indo-Saracenic style that merges elements of European and local design. It took 15 years to build and is constructed of white marble and stands at the southern end of the city’s Maidan (or open park). On top of the hall is a 5 meter high statue of ‘Victory’ which stands on ball bearings and rotates in the wind. Interestingly no money was donated by the British towards its construction and the funds came entirely from local Indian sources. The museum collection includes arms and armoury, art (sculpture and paintings), textiles, maps, coins etc. Admission fees for foreigners are 150 rp (approx €2.50) and no photography is allowed. The hall is closed on Mondays and opens at 10 am, closing at 4pm in winter and an hour later in summer. A sound and light show takes place each evening. The nearest metro station is Maidan.
