O Aquário Vasco da Gama foi recentemente reconhecido como um monumento de interesse nacional dada a sua vasta coleção de espécies marítimas vivas, para além da sua coleção museológica em que se destaca a valiosa coleção que o rei Carlos I foi conseguindo reunir ao longo das suas campanhas oceanográficas.
Este estudo que aqui se apresenta pretende escrever a história do Aquário Vasco da Gama, fundado a 20 de maio de 1898, no contexto das comemorações do quarto centenário da viagem de Vasco da Gama à Índia, centrando-se no primeiro centenário da instituição, período em que o AVG mais desafio teve de ultrapassar ao procurar definir a sua função cultural, educativa e científica.
A partir da análise de fontes arquivísticas, dando especial destaque aos relatórios dos seus diretores, esta investigação demonstra o papel que o rei D. Carlos I e, seguidamente, a Marinha Portuguesa desempenharam ao longo da sua história, colocando em destaque os seus períodos mais marcantes e os diretores que assumiram um papel mais determinante na história do AVG.
The Aquário Vasco da Gama (Vasco da Gama Aquarium, AVG) was recently designated as a monument of national significance due to its extensive collection of both living maritime specimens and the assemblage acquired by King Carlos I (Charles I of Portugal) thought his oceanographic expeditions. This study aims to write the history of AVG, established on May 20, 1898, during the celebrations that marked the 400th anniversary of Vasco da Cama’s voyage to India. The study focuses primarily on the first century of its existence, a period notable for the challenges it faced to define its cultural, educational and scientific significance. Through meticulous analysis of source materials, with particular emphasis on the reports of its former directors, this study highlights the contributions of King Carlos I and, in later years, the Portuguese Navy had throughout its history. The investigation centres on the AVS’s most significant periods and also on the directors who most notably shaped the Aquarium’s legacy.
