Queen Victoria's statue stands where Ranjit Singh's statue stands today
This picture really freaked me out. Remember the many shots of Ranjit Singh which appeared earlier in this album? (see previous pictures), Well, Queen Victoria's statue once stood there. This is a view of Queen Victoria's statue in that rotunda. There are two reasons why this picture is so dreadful in terms of quality. Once, it was in a dark corner, which meant more grain. Second, this is a grab shot. Photography inside the Partition Museum is prohibited, and there are guards moving around all the time. My brother was admonished more than once for taking pictures with his cell phone.
Amazingly, no one bothered me with my large Nikon D7200 dSLR,
as I was not actually putting camera to eye. So taking advantage of this, I took a few shots inside the museum. I think I heard footsteps when I was taking this pic, due to which I had to hastily put the camera down, resulting in a bit of camera shake. We heard later from the Museum office that many people have complained to them about the photography ban and that they are planning to reconsider it. Hope so!
