The figurine is now in the Naturhistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria.[5] Venus of Willendorf is named after the site in Austria where it was unearthed.[6] Several similar statuettes and other forms of art have been discovered, and they are collectively referred to as Venus figurines, although they pre-date the mythological figure of Venus by millennia [IMG]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/c7/18/3b/c7183bf4b3c4f0bcdea0c1c9ea3741f2.jpg[/IMG] Venus de Laurel [/QB][/QUOTE]
