Hi @OmarBD

Wow stunning architecture! I love the colors of the photo! What camera are you using? Do you know who’s the architecture behind this building? It’s almost European-like. Are there many visitors? Can you also visit the inside?

Thanks!

Hi @DanniS This photo capture by Nikon D7100 camera and The Victoria Memorial’s architect was William Emerson (1843–1924), president of the Royal Institute of British Architects. The design is in the Indo-Saracenic revivalist style which uses a mixture of British and Mughal elements with Venetian, Egyptian, Deccani and Islamic architectural influences. Yes, there are thousands of visitors every day to visit here, and inside it there are so many beautiful crafts and various materials including pictures of Queen Victoria.

Thanks
