AVMA Animal Connections Exhibit A traveling Smithsonian exhibit developed to mark the 150th Anniversary of the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) is coming to Purdue University for Homecoming Weekend, September 26-27. “Animal Connections: Our Journey Together,” is the name of the exhibit that is housed in an expandable 18-wheel truck and introduces visitors of all ages to the complex bond between humans and animals. Created to inspire the next generation of veterinarians, the exhibit uses a dynamic combination of interactive learning stations, films and touch screen videos, and three- dimensional settings to explore topics about animals in the home, on the farm, in the wild, at the zoo and in the veterinary clinic. It debuted last year at the AVMA’s 150th anniversary convention in Chicago and has been traveling around the country since. The free mobile museum is made possible through support from the American Veterinary Medical Foundation and the generous support of founding sponsor, Zoetis, Inc. There is no cost to see the exhibit. For more information, including videos about the exhibit, click here to go to the exhibit web page on the AVMA website. |
