Victoria Memorial is Kolkata's white-marble landmark on the Maidan, proposed by Lord Curzon after Queen Victoria died in 1901 and designed by the architect William Emerson, who blended British classical forms with Mughal elements. Clad in white Makrana marble from Rajasthan — the same quarries used for the Taj Mahal — it opened in 1921 and is today a museum run under India's Ministry of Culture. The bronze Angel of Victory on the central dome is one of Kolkata's most recognisable silhouettes, and the 64-acre grounds are the city's favourite place for an evening walk. Visitors come for the galleries, the building itself and the surrounding cluster of sights: St Paul's Cathedral is next door, Birla Planetarium and the Academy of Fine Arts are a few minutes' walk, the Maidan stretches north towards Esplanade, and Prinsep Ghat is a short ride west for sunset on the river.
