The fee for UK citizens is ridiculous so we paid for garden-only entrance. The building and grounds are gorgeous and we spent a good couple of hours walking and relaxing outside in the sunshine.

The building is dedicated to Victoria, Queen of the United Kingdom and Empress of India. White Makrana marbles were used in the construction of Victoria Memorial Hall.
The Victoria Memorial is massive in its size and stands enclosed within blooming gardens. It has a Museum, Royal Gallery housing a number of portraits of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert and paintings illustrating their life, National Leader’s Gallery, containing the portraits and relics relating to Indian independence. Spectacular Creation.
We could see the view of Hooghly Bridge from the gardens of Victoria Memorial Hall.
Foods are available. The work of the palace is eye-catching.
Peace Park, in front of Victoria Memorial, is a nice, green and quiet spot

Though it is a very good and excellent architectural wonder, nothing less than the Taj Mahal of Agra. Unfortunately the place could have been developed better for a great tourism experience. Maybe the Travel Agents World did Not see the proper tourism opportunity to promote in its proper perspective. Maybe the Ministry of Defence, which has the adjoining iconic Fort Williams of great historical importance, don’t want visitors for strategic security reasons or whatever.
