The Veterinary Museum in Hannover dates from as recently as 1981. It aims to showcase the history of the veterinary college in Hannover which was founded in 1778 by Georg III, up until it became recognised as a university in 1913. On display in the museum are many medical instruments used in practice and treatment, and displays on country practices, research and army vets. This unique museum is popular with the general public, as well as vets.
