Abstract
This paper traces what has happened to the famous figurine known as the Venus of Věstonice since its discovery by Karel Absolon’s team in 1925. It considers when, how and why events unfolded, and explores the reasons the figurine has become an icon. The text was produced as part of research for the project Venus 100: One Hundred Years since the Discovery of the Venus of Věstonice, organised by the Moravian Museum. It covers developments up to 2025.
