Vienna's Museum of Natural History is one of the world's largest natural history museums. It opened in the late 1800's and was designed to reflect the nature of the collections. The museum features a wide and varied collection of skeletons, fossils, precious stones, diamonds, meteorites, dinosaur casts and zoological exhibits. The most important pieces are a limestone fertility symbol, the "Venus of Willendorf," which is approximately 25,000 years old; and "Fanny of Galgenberg", which was found near Stratzing/Krems-Rehberg in 1988, and is one of the world's oldest sculptures, dating to approximately 32,000 BC.
