Kolkata’s iconic Victoria Memorial Hall has been lit up in vibrant colours to mark International Museum Day, celebrated annually on May 18.
This year’s theme, “Museums for Education and Research,” highlights the vital role museums play in fostering learning and cultural exchange.
Nestled along the Hooghly River, the grand Indo-Saracenic structure stands as a tribute to Queen Victoria and houses a vast collection of colonial-era artifacts.
As part of the global celebration, the illumination underscores the importance of museums in preserving history while inspiring future generations through education and exploration.
