Museum of North Vancouver exhibits century-long transformation of women's swimsuits.

The Museum of North Vancouver (MONOVA) has an archive of photos showcasing the transformation of women's swimsuits over the last century. In the early 1900s, women wore heavy wool bathing dresses that covered arms and legs, becoming heavier when wet. By the 1930s, swimsuits began to reveal more skin. The museum, located at 115 West Esplanade in The Shipyards, offers further insights into North Shore history.
