Needs an update

The page says the statue is on display at the Met as of October, 2019. Still there? Thanks. Randy Kryn (talk) 04:20, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Why so little about its origin and provenance?

Such a large and important sculpture from antiquity deserves more said about its history, rediscovery and provenance than just "The sculpture...is believed to have been made some time between the 1st century BC and the 1st century AD. It was originally excavated in the 1920s from a construction site in Rome and has since changed hands several times before finding a home at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery..." An entire book was published about the history of the Venus de Milo. Surely a few more sentences are warranted here for this highly significant work of art.
