Venus de Milo Statue Secretly Hidden From Invaders in Paris
Historic Venus de Milo, the famed marble statue, was removed in 1820 to a hidden vault on Melos and later transported to Port, where French naval forces secured the upper and lower halves after a clash with Turkish crews. The tale recounts years of concealment, bold retrieval, and debate over post discovery handling and possible mutilation.
