The exhibition 'Splash! A Century of Swimming and Style' will feature Pamela Anderson's iconic red Baywatch swimsuit among 200 swim-themed objects, exploring a century of aquatic fashion.
Curator Amber Butchart emphasizes, 'the history of swimwear and swimming is fascinating as it mirrors wider changes in society over the past century, whether that's around issues of bodily autonomy and agency...'
Comprising three sections—'pool', 'lido', and 'nature'—the exhibition explores everything from swimwear advertising to recent cultural phenomena like the viral mermaid-core trend of 2020.
Visitors will get an up-close look at the stitching of the swimsuits on display, making it a unique experience beyond just viewing the famous outfits.
