History of the Planetarium (Planetário) of Lisbon

The Marine Planetarium was built between 1963 and 1965, designed by the architect Frederico George. On July 20, 1965, it was inaugurated as part of the Navy Museum.
The installation of a modern astronomical projection device in a room with a semi-spherical dome, similar to many other infrastructures that began to be built in the main European capitals, satisfied one of the dominant aspirations of the Astronomical Society of Portugal, founded in 1917, and made the old dream of a Naval Officer and brilliant amateur astronomer, Commander Eugénio Conceição Silva.
In the construction of the Planetarium, whose work took place between September 1963 and July 1965. The Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation donated 7 million Escudos (hence the name given to the Planetarium).
From May 2004 to April 2005, the Planetarium underwent an extensive recovery that involved a project of dynamization, expansion and renovation in partnership with Ciência Viva, which spent 3.5 million Euros for the purpose, thus becoming the main partner of the Planetarium . On July 19, 2005 the Planetarium reopened to the public with a new main projector and a renovated Auditorium. The current projector, with 32 star projectors, manages to present more than 9000 stars, as well as the Milky Way, stellar clusters and nebulae, the figures of the constellations and auxiliary didactic lines, starting to have means to make Astronomy and continue the dream of keeping astronomy in Portugal alive.
The Planetarium, in addition to the Planetarium Auditorium, also has a Gallery with several thematic exhibitions, an Observatory in recovery and a specific Library with more than 1000 titles. The building has accessibility for people with disabilities.

History of Lisbon Oceanarium

Opened in 1998, during the last world exhibition to take place in the 20th century, entitled “The oceans, a heritage for the future”, the Oceanário de Lisboa has eternalised the centuries-old bond between Lisbon and the ocean.
As a modern aquarium, it is committed to continuously developing educational activities aimed at encouraging people to learn more about the oceans and marine species. The Oceanário also focuses on its mission and seeks to draw people’s attention to current environmental issues. In this sense, it collaborates with several institutions with a view to promoting ocean sustainability, by supporting scientific research and marine biodiversity conservation projects.

History of Lisbon Zoo

Opened in 1884, the Lisbon Zoo was the first park with fauna and flora of the Iberian Peninsula. Several founders – Dr. Pedro Van Der Laan, José Thomaz Sousa Martins and the Baron of Kessler – had the support of several personalities, King D. Fernando II and zoologist José Vicente Barboza do Bocage.
The first facilities were located in the Park of São Sebastião da Pedreira, which was given free of charge by its owners.
Later, the park moved to Palhavã and on May 28, 1905, new and definitive facilities were inaugurated at Quinta das Laranjeiras. On March 12, 1913, the Zoo was declared an Institution of Public Utility.
In 1952, the City Council of Lisbon awarded the Zoo with the Gold Medal of the City.
In this way, specific work areas were created with their own objectives, to improve collection and animal welfare, food and veterinary care.
Contact with the dolphins during the ATL in the Zoo The guided tour of a school. The Zoo is no longer a showcase of animals to take an active role in the protection and conservation of Nature. Improvement of facilities for the animals allowed the increase of the birth rate. The Veterinary Hospital opened in 2008. The Garden is a space where allied to conservation and education is a strong component of entertainment and fun. In this new zoo they inhabit about 2000 animals in a set of approximately 300 species, among mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians.
