Museum of Veterinary Anatomy FMVZ USP, Veterinary anatomy museum at University of São Paulo, Brazil.
The Museum of Veterinary Anatomy contains 2,000 specimens including mounted animals, skeletons, and anatomical models from various species, organized in systematic displays.
Established in 1984, the museum emerged from teaching materials used by college professors and underwent a major transformation when relocating to Cidade Universitária campus between 2004 and 2008.
The museum serves as an educational center where 75 percent of its 12,000 annual visitors are school groups learning about animal biology and veterinary sciences.
Located at Professor Orlando Marques de Paiva Avenue in São Paulo, the museum welcomes visitors from Tuesday to Friday between 9 AM and 5 PM, and Saturdays until 2 PM.
The collection includes the skeleton of Cacareco, a female rhinoceros that received 100,000 protest votes during the 1959 São Paulo municipal elections.
