Opened on July 5, 2020, the unusual museum was the brainchild of founder Alexx when she came across bikini seamstress Alda in Brazil. The 70-year-old Brazilian dreamed of opening a bikini gallery that would make her exciting life story accessible to outsiders. Inspired by this, Alexx became more and more involved with swimwear and bathing culture and decided to turn this passion into an international museum. In it she wants to make the struggle of women in a prudish societythe main theme and realize Alda's dream.
