Lawn Tennis in Portugal
2014
Exhibition held in partnership with Norberto Santos, with texts of his authorship and objects from his private collection.
Organized in thematic nuclei, simultaneously chronological, the exhibition illustrated the history of tennis in Portugal since the end of the 19th century, how it all started with the English living in Portugal and the dynamism by Guilherme Pinto Basto, the glamor of the 20s, the creation of the Federation Portuguesa de Ténis, the inauguration of the tennis stadium in Jamor, the reign of José Roquette, and the teaching of tennis in Portugal. The narrative ended at the end of the 60s, which marked the beginning of a new era in tennis.
Parallel to this narrative, the evolution of equipment (racquets, balls, presses) and other objects associated with certain times was shown.
