Victoria Memorial Hall has been doing some progressive things lately, the authorities are going to change the 97-year-old rule. The museum will stay open for an extra hour now. Museums generally stay open from 10 am to 5 pm, but the Victoria Memorial will be the only museum under the tutelage of the ministry of culture to remain open until 6 pm in the evening.
Jayanta Sengupta, curator of the museum said, “times have changed and offices, banks, libraries, and institutions remain open beyond what used to be called ‘office hours’. Hence, there is no reason why the most-visited museum in the country should keep following the old rule. We were hesitating all these years only for security reasons, but now finally we will be keeping the museum open until 6 pm. This will, however, be an initial revision. Looking at how things move, we plan to further increase the timings for another hour after a couple of months”.
