Kolkata (Calcutta) - Victoria Memorial Hall

Its a big marble building that houses a museum of the history of British rule of India. Its got original statues erected for the generals that conquered India in the wars to take over the land, statues for the original British governors of India, examples of the weapons used by the British and the Indians at the time, old photos of original British colonization, stuff like that. Photography was strictly prohibited, of course.
