I was amazed by its beauty and grandeur. The entire white marble building stands in the middle of a lush green garden, surrounded by fountains and statues. The memorial has art galleries where one can see beautiful and old art pieces. They have displayed portraits, coins, pillars, arches and sculptures. You can also some of the personal belongings of Queen Victoria which were used by her. It is one of the landmark and signature locations of the City of Joy Kolkata. It is a must-visit place for all. It represents majestic British architecture. There is a huge park inside and it takes around 1.5 hours to visit the whole palace. One can spend time sitting in the park with the family and kids. The ticket price is 20₹ (keep a change) and weekdays are less crowded. Ticket Counter closed at 5 PM. There is availability of drinking water inside.
In the evening, they also have a half an hour light show which starts at 6.30 pm and the ticket price is 100 per person. The ticket window opens at 6 p.m.

The Victoria Memorial stands as an architectural masterpiece, showcasing a blend of elegance and historical significance. The majestic structure and its surrounding gardens provide a serene escape in the heart of the city. The museum inside offers a rich tapestry of India's colonial past, although some exhibits might benefit from modernization. Overall, Victoria Memorial is a must-visit for history enthusiasts, offering a glimpse into India's cultural heritage amidst a regal and well-preserved setting.
The Place is surrounded by nature and you will definitely enjoy your time spending out here. There is also a gallery where many things are restored during the Victorian era.The most disappointing thing is there is no facility to book tickets online. I have visited Jaipur & Delhi where every archaeological structure tickets are maintained by the archaeological survey of India but here we don't get that facility.
One of the must visit places if you're in Kolkata. This is a museum which used to be Queen Elizabeth's palace (home) once upon a time. The place is good to visit with family, friends or even solo. The architecture is awe-inspiring and the garden around the place is maintained very nicely. The lakes and gardens surrounding the whole place make the atmosphere soothing and make you feel closer to nature and away from the noise of the city.
A grand colonial monument and a Calcutta landmark, the Victoria Memorial Museum is a must-visit for those who want to understand the history of the city and of one of the longest-reigning British monarchs. The museum is well maintained and the grounds are great for public recreation too.
A beautiful monument constructed during British empire in the city center is a visit worthy place. The construction of the building extraordinary. There are a lot of gardens surrounding the building which are very clean and beautiful supported by small ponds.
Entry ticket is required for visiting the place.
The monument kind of construction in Kolkata in the name of Victoria memorial. Had many objects on display from the freedom fights like guns and swords and sharp knives used in riots at that time by Indian freedom fighters. Audio visual presentation makes it more captivating experience for interested visitors. Very well kept and maintained gardens and small ponds in the surrounding area makes the visit memorable for sure
