In general

What is the BikiniARTmuseum?

The BikinARTmuseum is the world's first museum for swimwear and bathing culture. We are historically competent and have the most complete and exclusive swimwear collection, starting from 1870 to the present day. The special feature: The works of art from all over the world are surrounded by visionary design and accompanied by electrifying presentations. We are provocative & so feminist, the short break in the lifestyle museum will be very upsetting. Visit our “About Us” page for more information about our mission, vision and exciting story of development. About Us
