[Original caption] A Peep into into the Victoria Gardens. These beautifully laid out gardens are a source of pleasure to the weary and jaded worker in the cool of the evening after a hard days work in the broiling sun and stuff offices. [end]

The former Victoria Gardens in Byculla dates to 1861, and today has a zoo and the beautifully renovated Bhau Daji Lad Museum on its premises. The Museum, the oldest in the city, expresses the city's history and crafts during the Raj.
