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).
I have made this blog to share my personal collection of autographs, stamps, coins, bank notes, books, magazines, receipts, newspapers, transport tickets, postcards, match box, cinema memorabilia and others. - SHITAL PRADHAN, SIKKIM
