As one of the most well-known sculptures in the world, the armless goddess statue, Venus de Milo, always impresses with its special beauty. However, an organization let the public appreciate it from another perspective, by fitting a replica of the statue in Paris with a pair of 3D printed prosthetic arms on Tuesday. /VCG Photo
The operation was at the Louvre metro station and the goddess stands with her right arm resting on her left thigh, while her left arm extends out with an apple. /VCG Photo
The organization, Handicap International, said this belongs to its #BodyCantWait campaign. The project was aimed to bring people’s attention to the large number of people around the world who need artificial limbs, and how they can be "repaired" with 3D prosthetics instead of traditional devices. /VCG Photo
Several others statues across Paris are also fitted out with 3D printed limbs. /VCG Photo
