The Museum of Veterinary Anatomy (Portuguese: Museu de Anatomia Veterinária Prof. Dr. Plínio Pinto e Silva; MAV) is a museum open to the public at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science (FMVZ) at the University of São Paulo (USP), Brazil.
[1] The museum was opened to visitors in 1984 and has a permanent exhibition, studied and curated by teachers, professionals and students of the faculty.
Between 2004 and 2008, the MAV was closed to visitors for the transfer of FMVZ headquarters to USP's college campus (known as Cidade Universitária).
[3] The museum has a collection of about 2,000 objects,[4] including several mounted animals, skeletons and anatomical models of several species.
On 17 October 2015, during the Virada Científica (a type of White Night festival for science events) at University of São Paulo, the MAV Guide for Teachers - Elementary School 1 was launched.
