Pamela Anderson’s Baywatch swimsuit to be displayed at London museum

Famous red bathing suit to form part of Design Museum exhibition dedicated to history of swimming

At its peak in the 1990s, the US TV series Baywatch drew an estimated 1.1 billion viewers each week – many of whom tuned in to watch the model and actor Pamela Anderson’s slow-motion running scenes in a red bathing suit.

Now, one of the most famous pieces of swimwear in the world – worn by Anderson during her tenure on the show from 1992 to 1997 – will be displayed in London as part of an exhibition dedicated to swimming and people’s enduring love of water.
