The swimsuit in which Pamela Anderson famously sprinted along the beach in slow motion is set to join other world-famous swimwear in a German museum dedicated to bikinis after curators bought the famous red one-piece for US$27,500 (RM127,256).

Over 40 enthusiasts bid at auction for the swimsuit that Pamela Anderson wore as a lifeguard in the NBC series Baywatch between 1989 and 2001.
