The Museum of Veterinary Anatomy (MAV), Portuguese: Museu de Anatomia Veterinária Prof. Dr. Plínio Pinto e Silva, is a museum open to public at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science (FMVZ) at the University of São Paulo (USP), Brazil. It was named in honor of Professor Plinio Pinto e Silva, veterinarian and member of the São Paulo Veterinary Medicine Academy, a pioneer in obtaining the associate professor title at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of USP.[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.[2] Before the museum was opened to visitors, the collection was used by college teachers in their classes. 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]
