Last November I got the chance to visit Vienna's Natural History Museum in Austria (Naturhistorisches Museum Wien). It's houses one of the oldest natural history collections in the world, dating back to the 1700's!
There I saw the Woman of Willendorf (often called the 'Venus of Willendorf'), a sculpture I first learned about in art school. It was incredible to see it in person.
My primary source for this video was "Natural History Museum Vienna: A Guide to the Collections" by Stefanie Jovanovic-Kruspel.
