BikiniARTmuseum in Bad Rappenau in Baden-Württemberg bought the original swimming trunks from the 1990s for $3,000. There is even an autograph from Hasselhoff himself on the red fabric.
The museum already has exhibits from other great icons, including Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Amy Winehouse and Brigitte Bardot. From July, the museum wants to show a large special Baywatch exhibition and then present the red cult trunks for the first time.
