The Victoria Memorial is a large marble building in Kolkata (West Bengal) India, which was built between 1906 and 1921.

The memorial lies on the Maidan (grounds) by the bank of the Hooghly River near Jawaharlal Nehru road.

 In January 1901, on the death of Queen Victoria,George Curzon 1st and Viceroy of India , suggested the creation of a fitting memorial. He proposed the construction of a grand building with a museum and gardens.

 The Prince of Wales, later King George V,laid the foundation stone on 4 January 1906, and it was formally opened to the public in 1921.
