VICTORIA MEMORIAL MUSEUM
The impressive Victoria Memorial houses a collection of the British colonial period. Visitors are greeted
by a life-size statue of young Victoria (by Sir Thomas Brock). There are enormous oil paintings in
the Royal Gallery, illustrating episodes from Queen Victoria's long, eventful life and reign and a
large painting titled "The Entry of Kind Edward VII into Jaipur in 1876" (by a Russian artist).
Also on display are books on the 'Raj', sculptures of Clive and other
Governor Generals and a superb collection of paintings.
