THE RC ONSITE PORTAL PARTNER MEETING WILL
TAKE PLACE IN PORTO, WITH i2ADS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF PORTO AS THE ORGANISING HOST.
How to get there
Based at Casa Andresen, the Hall of Biodiversity is located in one of the most emblematic places in the city of Porto: the Botanical Garden.
The nearest stop is by bus. There are several lines connecting the city centre with the Hall of Biodiversity (Stop Jardim Botânico / Botanical Garden).
Discover the process that led to the transfer of the “Balaenoptera” from the Historical Building of the Rectory of the University of Porto to the Hall of Biodiversity.
Hall of Biodiversity, University of Porto
The Portal Partner Meeting Porto will be held at the Hall of Biodiversity (Galeria da Biodiversidade). A space in which the arts connect with biology and natural history, fostering a wide range of sensorial experiences, carefully and intentionally crafted with the purpose of celebrating the diversity of life, the Hall of Biodiversity is the first museology platform in the world to be conceived from the start according to the total museology philosophy.
The whale at the main hall
The whale at the main hall takes us back to the cold month of November 1937. Four kilometres north of Leixões, Praia do Paraíso woke up to an unusual sight. A "Balaenoptera musculus" had washed ashore. The dimensions, from snout to tail tip, the slate-coloured back, the black colour of the pectoral fins and the baleen left no room for doubt: it was a "blue whale." The animal was auctioned off to an industrialist to extract oil and other remains, with the skeleton made available to the Institute of Zoology "Dr. Augusto Nobre,"
This is the whale skeleton mentioned in the story "Saga" from the book "Histórias da Terra e do Mar" by Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen. The story introduces us to the young Hans, who, from the icy waters of northern Europe, boards a sailboat southward against his father's will. He anchors in a city of "intense and gloomy colours," which could well be Porto. Welcomed by an Englishman, he assumes the posture of a "businessman" and builds wealth. He buys "a farm that descended from a small hill to the dock at the mouth of the river," Sophia writes. This farm, everything indicates, will be the same where the author and her cousin, also a writer, Ruben A., played in childhood. The story is inspired by the history of Sophia's great-grandfather, Jann Hinrich Andresen (who came to Portugal in the mid-19th century, leaving behind the island of Förh, in the Frisian archipelago). In this farm, there was a mansion that, in 1951, was acquired and handed over to the University of Porto, and everything in the house was "immoderately large," Sophia writes:
From the bedrooms where the children rode bicycles to the huge atrium to which all the rooms led, and in which, as Hans said, one could set up the skeleton of the whale that had rested for years, packed in numerous volumes, in the cellars of the Faculty of Sciences for there was no place where it could fit assembled.
