BikiniARTmuseum honors Ruth Megary
with its own exhibition.

“I think the BikiniARTmuseum wants to be a big, big success. It's so surprising that no one did it up to now. You have museums from everything you could even imagine, and this is so obvious, it's so feministic, it's so political in times where people wear burqas again and things like this. It's an area with so many art pieces which are not defined - no one did it up to now - you are geniuses.”

“A swimsuit or bikini is a woman's most personal piece of clothing. The World's First BikiniARTmuseum finally gives the swimwear industry as a whole the important historical dimension it deserves. ”

LENNY NIEMEYER
2018, voted best swimwear label in 2018

The BikiniARTmuseum bows to a great person and dedicates a larger area of its own to Ruth Megary, friend and muse of the museum. Born in Munich, she was one of the first bikini wearers in Germany to secure a spectacular two-piece suit in the 1960s following her social breakthrough.

To the article

“Swimwear is freedom. People who enjoy a moment of freedom. When a woman wants to buy a bikini, she thinks of the best possible things and has positive vibes. You think of the beach, the sea, the sky, or love. ”

Jacqueline de Biase
Salinas swimwear, owner

“Museum was yesterday — BikiniARTmuseum is today. Not dusty, but informative, cheeky and above all profound. You learn a lot, get involved and are therefore well entertained. Valuable exhibits, James Bond sends his regards — lifestyle and fashion! History, stories and a concept for the future that stands out! A museum as a trendy meeting place! ”

Michael Stocks
2018, South America correspondent for ARD

“The bikini is a measure of the position of women in the respective society. Where the female sex does not have the same rights, women are always prescribed how much substance they must wear while bathing. Misconduct will be punished.”

Harald Klein
German ambassador to Guatemala and Belize, organizer of a major swimwear show for the 2014 soccer World Cup in Rio de Janeiro

“There is finally an appreciation of swimwear as a special form of clothing. The location where the BikiniARTmuseum is located is excellently chosen, as Bad Rappenau and the region have always been associated with bathing and swimwear. We are of course represented and are happy to open our archive to the imaginative, qualified development team. The BAM team has succeeded in creating a very informative museum with an international focus. We can particularly congratulate you on that.”

DIETER BRAUN
Former managing director of Global Player Triumph and current master of the treasures of the Triumph Archive
