Victoria Jubilee Museum, Archaeological museum in Vijayawada, India.

The Victoria Jubilee Museum exhibits stone sculptures, bronze statues, and ancient artifacts within a colonial-style building on Bandar Road, Vijayawada.

Robert Sewell, District Collector of Krishna district, initiated the construction of this museum in 1887 during Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee celebrations.

The museum contains collections of Buddhist and Hindu sculptures, including a white limestone Buddha statue from Alluru dating to the 3rd century.

Visitors can explore the museum daily except Fridays from 10:30 AM to 5:00 PM, with free entrance but additional charges for camera use.

In 1921, Sri Pingali Venkayya presented a tri-color flag to Mahatma Gandhi at this location, marking a significant moment in Indian independence.
