Description:
The Museum of Veterinary History displays instruments and documents from the Vetsuisse Faculty as well as tools from veterinary practice to demonstrate how the field of veterinary medicine has evolved from a trade to a scientific profession. The exhibition also gives visitors an fascinating look into the impressive history of veterinary medicine at the University of Zurich.

The A. and M. Mahler Microscope Collection Zürich presents a comprehensive display of microscopes from the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. These instruments played and continue to play a significant role in veterinary research and diagnostics.
