Halls:
 

This room shows bathers of the past, original pictures of the old balnearios (beach resorts) of southern South America, such as Punta del Este, Piriápolis, Atlántida, La Floresta, La Paloma, Carrasco, Pocitos, Malvín, Capurro Beach in Uruguay; Mar del Plata, Miramar and Necochea in Argentina; and the novel-like story of Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

There are thousands of collectibles; old postcards, magazines, books, tins, bottles, suitcases, toys, and everything that was used in an beach house. An old picnic suitcase stands out with its jars for jams, tablecloths, cutlery, a coffeepot, hip flask, glasses, etc.

Old customs and nostalgia from this part of the world are also related, for example the "refresco de bolita" (a marble was used to top on this bottle), the Geniol head (Geniol will take the nails from the head, taking your headache away). This was an advertisement used in the old-times for an aspirin brand with a nice “jingle”) snuff tobacco tins, chewing tobacco tins, etc.

When were men allowed to be closer than 30 meters to a woman in the sea?

When were men allowed to go to the beach bare-chested?
