6Venus de Milo

The Venus de Milo is one of the most famous ancient sculptures in the world, often associated with the Greek goddess Aphrodite. Created around 130-100 BC, the statue’s allure lies in its graceful beauty and mystery—she is missing both arms, which has led to endless speculation about her original pose. Discovered on the island of Melos in 1820, the Venus de Milo exemplifies the idealized beauty of the Hellenistic period, and her serene yet powerful presence continues to captivate visitors.
