This is a great article from the New York Times about new research and museum exibits about ancient European culture and art.
Those in the NYC area will want to check out “The Lost World of Old Europe: the Danube Valley, 5000-3500 B.C.,” exhibit which opened last month at the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World at New York University.
