Victoria Monument, Grade II listed sculpture in Derby Square, Liverpool, England
The Victoria Monument is a bronze sculpture with 26 figures beneath a Portland stone dome, depicting justice, wisdom, charity, and peace. The work stands in Derby Square and features four groups of figures on its base that represent different aspects of society.
The monument was unveiled in 1906 following its foundation stone placement by Field Marshal Lord Roberts, Commander-in-Chief of the Forces. It was erected on the site where Liverpool Castle once stood.
The four groups of figures around the base show agriculture, commerce, industry, and education. These representations reflected what Victorian society valued most.
The sculpture sits in a central location in Derby Square, where it is easily visible from all sides. The square is well-situated and provides a natural gathering spot in the city center.
In 2002 artist Tatsurou Bashi transformed the area around the monument into a hotel room as part of the Liverpool Biennial festival. This temporary installation placed the sculpture in an unexpected and thought-provoking setting.
