The Natural History Museum Fun Fact: A fun fact about the Natural History Museum in Vienna is that it houses the famous Venus of Willendorf, a tiny limestone figurine dating back over 25,000 years. This prehistoric statue, discovered in Austria in 1908, is one of the most well-known examples of Paleolithic art, representing fertility and beauty. Despite being only about 11 cm tall, the Venus of Willendorf has become an iconic symbol of early human culture!
