Victoria Memorial Kolkata

One of the most beautiful museums in India, the Victoria Memorial is heritage site that contains the artifacts and portraits by some of the famous painters that have visited this side of the planet. My mother was very happy and I enjoyed looking at her while she cherished each second in this museum. She has an MA in history with a post graduate diploma in Epigraphy, however for some reason she ended up working in Corporation Bank. I just hope that she starts working on Epigraphy once she retires from the Bank. I was interested in history when I was in school, partially because of the mini library we have in the house of history books and partially because of the Amar Chitra comics whose stories flashed before my very eyes as we crossed each section of this museum. Cameras are not allowed inside so took a panoramic shot of the museum.
