Everything about the exhibition is summarized in its title. For countless years woman has been a source of inspiration to artists, beginning in the stone age with the first artworks on the cave walls and the very first known sculptural work: the Venera of Villendorf, a 11,1 cm tall stone figurine found in one of the ancient burial grounds near Villendorf in Austria. It was sculpted around 25000 years before our era.
