          Abstract

          Resumo O Übersee-Museum Bremen foi criado em 1896 como Museu Municipal de História Natural, Etnologia e Comércio. O estabelecimento do museu com essas três seções remonta a uma exposição organizada pelos comerciantes da antiga cidade hanseática no ano de 1890 em cooperação com o diretor das coleções etnográficas e de História Natural da cidade. Juntos, propunham-se a mostrar não só as mercadorias que os comerciantes traziam do ultramar, mas também os entornos naturais e culturais dos espaços de origem dessas mercadorias. A exposição levou à fundação do museu, e as relações entre os funcionários do museu e os comerciantes da cidade se estreitaram. Especialmente a companhia marítima mais importante de Bremen, a Norddeutscher Lloyd, deu o seu apoio em termos financeiros e logísticos, mas também influenciava através das suas sucursais e linhas marítimas onde e quando se podiam adquirir objetos para ampliar os acervos do museu. Dessa maneira, a companhia teve um efeito na produção de conhecimento científico que, nessa época, baseava-se na coleta de objetos etnográficos e espécimes botânicos e zoológicos. Esta contribuição, portanto, volta-se para as redes de contato e os agentes interligados ao museu e aos seus acervos.

          Abstract The Übersee-Museum Bremen was founded in 1896 as Municipal Museum of Natural History, Ethnology and Trade. Its establishment as a museum composed of these three sections traces back to a commercial exhibition organized by the old Hanseatic city’s merchants in 1890 in cooperation with the director of the city’s ethnographic and natural history collections. Together they intended to display not only the commodities that merchants brought from overseas, but also the natural and cultural spaces from which these products came. The exhibition led to the founding of the museum, and the museum staff and the city’s merchants established close relationships. Bremen’s most important shipping company, the Norddeutscher Lloyd, provided special financial and logistic support to the museum, but it also influenced, through its subsidiaries and shipping lines, where and when objects could be acquired in order to extend the museum’s stocks. The company thus had an effect on scientific knowledge production based upon the collecting of ethnographic objects and botanical and zoological specimens. This article will, therefore, analyze the networks and agents linked to the museum and its holdings.
