It is estimated that on this day in 1820, the Venus de Milo, a statue believed to be by Greek sculptor Alexandros of Antioch, was found on Milos, an island in the Aegean Sea.The marble sculpture, standing at 6’8″, is recognizable by its missing arms. The Venus de Milo is on permanent display at the Louvre Museum in Paris, also home to the Mona Lisa.
