A walk through the Harley-Davidson (H-D) Museum is like taking a walk through the history of America. With an unrivaled collection of Harley-Davidson motorcycles and memorabilia, a park-like campus, two retail stores, an amazing restaurant, and a calendar full of activities, the H-D Museum is one of Milwaukee’s top tourist destinations for visitors from around the globe.
More than just a motorcycle museum, the H-D Museum is a celebration of freedom and passion for the open road. Visitors are welcome to discover culture and history through stories and interactive exhibits that celebrate expression, camaraderie, and love for the sport. With a selection of rotating exhibits, there is always something new to experience. Two new exhibits will open in 2024, including one that focuses on how art and design play together to create the world’s most iconic motorcycles.
