During the Victorian era the fore runners of the museum movement toyed with the excellent idea of establishing the museum in some chosen parts of the British Empire. The Golden Jubilee coronation ceremony of the Queen Victoria in 1887 A.D. was chosen to augment this museum movement. The Victoria Jubilee Museum at Vijayawada came into existence to commemorate the Silver Jubilee Celebration of Queen Victoria. This museum was originally named as Victoria Jubilee Museum and Technical Institute of Bezawada. The antiquities which came to light from this region and the samples of the industrial products and handicrafts of this region were exhibited in this museum. Under the auspices of Robert Sewell, a reckowned historian, the then Krishna district Collector, took interest in the construction of this Museum. At that time, the present Prakasam and Guntur districts were under the jurisdiction of Krishna district. As a historian and Collector he published number of reports on Historical Monuments and antiquities of the district and out of his efforts only tits Museum came into existence.
