It’s a great room to get the kids involved with natural history and to learn about the first animals that roamed the world.

The 29,500 year-old and only eleven centimeter tall "Venus von Willendorf" was found in the Wachau in Lower Austria in 1908. Other than her name, Venus of Willendorf thanks to her location of discovery, very little is known about this carving – some say she was a fertility goddess, but what is certain is that she is a representative of female figures that survived the Palaeolithic Period.
