ABSTRACT
In this article, we intend to elaborate the expository trajectory of the bow of a canoe belonging to the collection of Museu Paulista since its acquisition in 1924, until the present day, reflecting on the construction of the memory of monsoon expeditions in the museum over time. The interdisciplinary activities conducted between Museu Paulista, the Laboratory of Plant Anatomy of the Institute of Biosciences - USP and the Department of Naval Engineering of the Polytechnic School - USP will also be addressed to better understand the constitution of the now musealized canoe, using the results obtained from historical research, conservation efforts, the processes of anatomical identification of wood and short-range photogrammetry.
