The Underpinnings Museum

"The history of lingerie is an important part of the history of women’s changing role in society, yet it is rarely given the attention it deserves. The Underpinnings Museum is an online museum: a radical innovation in showcasing and documenting exquisite objects, dedicated to the evolution of underwear through the ages."

A highlight: a WWII-era "escape map" lingerie set.

Waiting to patronize The Boxer Shorts Museum Shop, particularly because nobody wants to feature little flying ducks in their designs these days.

Perusing some of the exhibits has reminded me of the joy I take in pronouncing “lingerie” as “linger-ree.”
