    The Victoria Memorial is a grand white marble monument built between 1906 and 1921 in memory of Queen Victoria (1819–1901). Today, it serves as both a museum and a popular tourist attraction managed by the Ministry of Culture.

    Located on the Maidan near Jawaharlal Nehru Road (Chowringhee Road), the memorial covers 57 acres of land with 21 landscaped gardens.
