The Venus of Dolní Věstonice (Czech: Věstonická Venuše) is a Venus figurine, a ceramic statuette of a nude female figure dated to between 29, 000 and 25, 000 BCE (Gravettian industry), which was found at a Paleolithic site in the Moravian basin south of Brno. The figurine was discovered on July 13, 1925 in a layer of ash, broken into two pieces. Once on display at the Moravian Museum in Brno, it is now protected and only rarely accessible to the public.
