Harley-Davidson Museum
The H-D Museum brings our passion alive through exhibits and events that celebrate the people, products, culture, and history that have made H-D the icon it is today.

Welcome

Harley-Davidson motorcycles bring heart-thumping adventure, life-changing freedom and a bit of rebellion into the lives of people around the world. But whether you were born to be wild - or mild - makes no difference at the Harley-Davidson Museum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Much more than a nostalgia trip for motorcycle enthusiasts, the Museum offers a glimpse of American history and culture like you've never seen it before.

At the H-D Museum you can:

  • Walk through exhibits that tell the stories of the extraordinary people, products, history and culture of Harley-Davidson.
  • Peek into a portion of the Archives never before open to the public, home to over 450 motorcycles and thousands of artifacts.
  • Stroll around the 20 acre Museum campus, enjoy the riverwalk or just sit back along the waterfront taking in the Milwaukee skyline.
  • Check out the unique Museum-inspired gifts available at The Shop.
  • Examine the industrial architecture both inside and outside the Museum's three buildings.
