BikiniARTmuseum, Swimwear museum in Bad Rappenau, Germany.

BikiniARTmuseum is a museum of swimwear and bathing culture opened in Bad Rappenau on 5 July 2020. Its 2,000 m² of exhibition space over two floors and an art garden are divided into History, Art and Move, showing bathing garments from 1870 to the present alongside paintings, photography, sculptures and interactive stations. A ten-metre figure, Janara, by Brazilian artist Doris Geraldi stands on the roof of the Art Deco building.

The BikiniARTmuseum opened on 5 July 2020 in Bad Rappenau, founded and privately financed by the Regensburg entrepreneur Alexander Ruscheinsky. Its displays trace swimwear and bathing culture from 1870 to the present, organised by country and continent, with a special place given to South America since the mid-20th century. The building, designed by architect Haymo Ruscheinsky, stands in a commercial zone at the Bad Rappenau motorway exit.

The collection reveals how attitudes toward the body and swimming customs shifted across generations and continents. Displays show these changes through actual garments, offering insight into what people wore and why those choices mattered.

The museum is easy to reach by car or public transportation, with free parking available on-site. The building is fully accessible, making it straightforward for all visitors to move through the galleries and outdoor areas.

The ten-metre figure Janara stands on the museum roof, forged by the Klosterschmiede of Maria Laach monastery to a design by Brazilian artist Doris Geraldi. The Art Deco building was designed by architect Haymo Ruscheinsky, and the museum is privately funded by founder Alexander Ruscheinsky. Inside, the collection holds 12 of the 16 surviving original Réard bikinis, including the "Golden Réard".
