Beautifully maintained place. Beautiful gardens and ponds surrounding the white marble monument. Some of the sculptures are fabulous.The gardens open from 0530-6 in the early morning and that seems to be the best time to go nowadays. The sun is up and its cool.The entry to the garden is Rs 20 per head.Toilets inside are well maintained. Lots of trash cans around to help people keep the gardens clean.The museum opens at 11 am.Ive put lots of snaps.

As we all know, Victoria memorial is a great historical architecture. It is an amazing experience to visit the museum. It enriched my knowledge very much. It is also a great photogenic place and hence draws the attention of many photographers. There is a security check at the entrance which ensures the security of the visitors. The reflection of the museum on the lake provides great photographs to the visitors. I would definitely recommend you to visit Victoria memorial at least once if you ever come to Kolkata.

Entry fee ₹30 per headNo fee for camera.To reach Victoria Memorial, take any bus towards Theatre Road or cab from Howrah Station. You can enjoy the walk towards the gate to Victoria. Perfect time to reach here is afternoon. You can roam through the garden and wait for the sunset. At evening enjoy the beautiful reflection of Memorial in water.Light and Sound show us organized at evening and special ticket is required for it.

Nice place to go to. 20 rupees to enter the garden area and to the museum needs another ticket from the counter. Very clean and beautiful place. I went there with my vatija Arafat and enjoyed a lot. We enjoyed the street food and those were just awesome.

One of the landmark structures of Kolkata. Built in memory for queen Victoria over the span of 15 years from 1906-1921. Built completely in Makrana marble mined in Rajasthan. It comprises a memorial building and museums. Museums explain about the history of Kolkata and British colonial exploits over them. Total atmosphere is very calm and peaceful with meadows and lakes around it. Worth to spend a day with your family. It requires a entry ticket which is very minimal. Must visit place in Kolkata.

Beautiful place. Well maintained. Love the vibe. Amazing for a picnic. Also the museum is very detailed and also has a 200 years old building.

History-This memorial is built between 1906 -1921 in the memory of queen Victoria.Place is great ,surrounding garden and flower are nice.In this marble building there is also a museum, where many historical things are present .Tickets-RS 20 for gardenRs 50 for museum.And you enjoy the place very much.

A lovey place to go to. Only 20 rupees to enter the garden area. Although entry to the museum needs another ticket from the counter. Overall very clear and very beautiful. Kudos to the maintenance. I had gone there during the day and mostly found tourists and couples hanging out there. And since the pandemic, its not that crowded now. You can easily sit on the benches provided or walk around in the garden maintaining social distance. This is also a good place to chill and relax.

Victoria memorial palace is an excellent place of the old history. Its a very big area with park and benches for sit out. We can enjoy the park around. Its amazing construction its an amazing construction may be with marbles. This place can be easily reached by auto rickshaws and buses as well. Rather than the palace visitors we can find more lovers here. This is the place we must visit when we visit kolkata. The government has maintained it very be well.

I am a huge fan of places that have a background of history to it. One of such places is The Victoria Memorial. It is a fine depiction of the Indo-Gothic architecture. I love the fact that it is made completely out of Marble and that its white hue still amazes you till this date. If one wishes to enjoy Calcutta then it cannot be accomplished without seeing this beautiful architectural masterpiece.

Entry fee is ₹20 of each personVictoria Memorial is one of the famous and beautiful monuments of Kolkata. It was built between 1906 and 1921 to commemorate Queen Victorias 25-year reign in India. After the Sepoy Mutiny of 1857, the British government gathered the reins of control of the country directly, and in 1876 the British parliament made Victoria the Empress of India. Her reign ended with her death in 1901.

Its one of the most iconic places of Kolkata. Those who like to visit historical places will definitely love this. It was built around 100 years ago. Victoria Memorial has a huge architectural value. Its has been converted into a museum. Its made of white marble and is surrounded by lush green gardens. The entry fee is Rs. 20 which may have changed over time. Although you find a lot of couples here, it is a decent place to visit with family.

One of the beautiful and oldest monument in kolkata built from 1906-1921. Its build in memory of queen Victoria.There was the two gates and both gates have ticket counters. Twenty rupees ticket fee for the garden.Beautiful garden and pond surrounding the white monument, and that looks fabulous. Well maintained and also very clean.Inside Toilets are available.Overall a excellent experience for me.

The place was easy to locate on maps and the navigation was accurate. (I took a cab, so don’t know about parking facilities)Victoria Memorial is a famous spot and landmark for tourists visiting Kolkata, and is beneficial for learning about its historical importance.There are lawns for picnics etc and the water bodies around the memorial are well maintained.Inside the memorial, you can find exhibits of statues and oil paintings and their descriptions in a museum-like fashion.The place can get really crowded during events like Christmas etc, so planning might be required.Photography is allowed inside without charges.Overall, this place is worth a visit.

A great place to spend quality time with friends and family. Victoria Memorial is one of the prestigious monuments located in Calcutta(Kolkata).

I visited the Victoria Memorial early morning. And the view was mind blowing. There was mist around and the air was fresh.

The Victoria Memorial is a large marble building in Kolkata, West Bengal, India, which was built between 1906 and 1921. It is dedicated to the memory of Queen Victoria, then Empress of India, and is now a museum and tourist destination under the auspices of the Ministry of Culture. The memorial lies on the Maidan (grounds) by the bank of the Hooghly River, near Jawaharlal Nehru Road (better known as Chowringhee Road)In front of this , there is a park for all. One can spend time with charming calm environment in busy Kolkata. The Victoria Memorial has 25 galleries. These include the royal gallery, the national leaders gallery, the portrait gallery, central hall, the sculpture gallery, the arms and armoury gallery and the newer, Calcutta gallery. The Victoria Memorial has the largest single collection of the works of Thomas Daniell (1749–1840) and his nephew, William Daniell (1769–1837).It also has a collection of rare and antiquarian books such as the illustrated works of William Shakespeare, the Arabian Nights and the Rubaiyat by Omar Khayyam as well as books about kathak dance and thumri music by Nawab Wajid Ali Shah. However, the galleries and their exhibitions, the programmatic elements of the memorial do not compete with the purely architectural spaces or voids.

A good place to visit. A lot of information about Subhas Chandra Bose and Azad Hind Fauz.

Due to covid museum is temporarily closed. Surprising to note that such a historical landmark doesnt have any parking facilities. Visitors have to get to the place either by taxi or should park at nearby church parking.

Based on my experience as Kolkata is were I was born an also bought up so this I one of my favourite spot for all time like if you say during early morning you will find good crowd and also during night for walk and also there’s a big ground nearby so you will also find people playing nearby.#travel_with_vivek#traveller_sharma#7destination

The best thing to visit in kolkata. If youre in kolkata, youve to visit this place once.

Victoria Memorial monument is surrounded by many gardens. All are well mentained lush green field... Small ponds add to the beauty....

Victoria Memorial Hall is a good attraction in Calcutta. The building and grounds are impressive. The architect did a good job at design and positioning of the building. Although you do have to look past the deferred maintenance on the grounds. There is a fair amount of rubbish scattered around the park and there are plenty of missing chunks out of the sidewalks and pathways. In general, the grounds appear to be minimally maintained.As to the interior, there are two temporary and one permanent exhibit on display. The first of the temporary is a rather mundane collection of art showing the early days of the British settlement. It is very poorly lit making it hard to see the art which hangs on painted plywood walls. The second temporary exhibit is a terrific collection of Calcutta photos from the period 1940 – 1977 by Jayant Patel (note here: this is NOT the Jayant Patel who was the doctor arrested in 2005 in a giant international health scandal. This Patel is a noted Bombay photographer.) In any case, the photo collection is superior and has many interesting photos of that era.The permanent collection is a well done story of the founding and development of Calcutta. It provides a wonderful education in the history of the area.All in all, a nice place to spend part of a day (but be mindful there are no toilets in the building although there are a few at the far corner of the grounds.)

Excellent Place to visit. You can get more information about Subhash Chandra Bose. The building is also beautiful a historical design.

Beautifully maintained. The view is enchanting. Great place for a walk.

The view is breathtaking. Its a place that would compel you to go and spend some quality time in todays busy world. It has a minimal entrance fee and the Covid norms are followed as well. Quite well maintained so highly recommended.

Nice security systemVery good atmosphereCouple friendly gardenAnd free child drinking water is available,,

Lovely ..Come with family once here.

One of the must visit places in Kolkata. The memorial is very nicely maintained. You can go here with family, friends and colleagues for hangouts. Best time to visit is in evening 4-6.

The Victoria Memorial is a landmark of splendid richness in the history of Indian architecture. Queen Victorias residence of 25-year reign in India is well preserved and its beauty arrests every eye.

Has a wide spread area around the Victoria memorial hall, gives u scenic beauty and u can click pictures their, u can see couples sitting on every alternate bench...

This place is best to spend sometime after a heavy lunch at places around Victoria. Get inside the gallery and see how we were colonised, tell your son or daughter to fight back the British in near future if required. If youre a couple then you can also kiss here and no one would be bothered !! Victoria, Love !!

The tickets are cheap and the crowd is mostly teenagers and young adults making the place a little too hard to appreciate the historic significance. Other than that this is a great Saturday afternoon kinda place.

The Victoria Memorial Hall is one of the mostmagnificent monuments of not only the city ofCalcutta but of our entire country. Representing theresplendent and majestic British architecture,Victoria Memorial Hall stands today, as a veritableicon of the city of Kolkata. Located on 1 Queens way,the VMH was envisaged by Lord Curzon, the Viceroyof British India, as a memorial to the deceasedQueen Victoria. Hence, according to Curzon thismemorial should take form of a great marble hall,which was to be erected on the Calcutta maidan toserve primarily as a monument to the Queen andsecondarily as a national gallery and Valhalla of theIndian Empire.

Lake is very beautiful. Food is available outside of gate. You will get known about Subhash babu.

This is a grand old colonial style palatial building. It is completely made of marble, just like the magnificent Taj Mahal, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. The architecture reflects a fine mix of British and Indian architectural styles blended with Mughal and European styles. The domes and minarets, the arches and pillars, the Angel of Victory atop the central dome – all make this building an architectural masterpiece.The place encompasses a magnificent museum spread over about twenty to twenty five galleries. The Royal gallery displays the life and works of the British royals while the Calcutta gallery showcases the history of this lovely city.Last but not the least, the place boasts of an amazing garden sprawling across acres of land.No doubt, the Victoria Memorial is one of the most sought-after destinations in Kolkata. If you are interested in more stunning destinations in Kolkata, please check out my blogs about the City of Joy, Kolkata. You can find them on my website, linked on my profile page.

Well maintained place . The safety is being looked at properly. The gallery and museum all is great as always. Must visit place when it Kolkata.

Entry fee :- 30rs for Indian nationals and 500 for foreignersGarden charge:- 20rs for Indian nationals and 200 for foreigners.Victoria palace now known as victoria memorial was built in 1921 but even after 100 years later this place seems like it was made 5 years back. The britishers were eminent when it comes to building lasting structures.This palace is so beautiful that no wonder why everybody gets the feeling of royal life here.To reach this place I tool taxi from howrah station and that taxi man charged me 500rs from me which I found out was almost 4times extra. Thats the only thing I didnt liked about kolkata that taxi drivers are always trying to scam tourists. Beware of them.

Go before 5PM but in evening. You can enjoy great views and dont have to face hot sunny sun.

The palace is made in memory of Queen Victoria between 1906-1921. Nice place to visit, it has a museum to visit. Architecture is so good and the outdoor garden and water pond are well maintained. Nominal fee for palace and museum.

Victoria Memorial is beautiful, ancient heritage of India made with white marbles. Though Museum is closed now, but you can enjoy here in Victoria Garden. A colorful garden looks beautiful. Entree fees for Garden is 20 Rs. Only.

A must visit. You can spend time in its serene environs. The ponds, the gardens and the monument provide lovely backdrop for your pics. The trees speak of the past gone by. Netajis gallery is ok. But the best is the paintings section. Worlds largest oil Canvas reveals as much of Indias past as about the skill of the artist.

Visit to Kolkata is incomplete without visiting the Victoria Memorial. This monument is the trade mark of Kolkata. The place is open now. The garden area is accessible to everyone until 5pm everyday. But due to the corona situation the museum is restricted for children under ten years of age. Go there in the afternoon and spend two hours to feel the vibes of the City of Joy.

One can have a pleasant stay at the garden and can experience the natural breeze and fountains there. The bronze statue of Victoria will be the welcome stone of the garden.
