About Harley-Davidson Museum

The Harley-Davidson Museum sits on the company's campus in Milwaukee, the city where the brand began in 1903. Visitors move through two floors of motorcycles, memorabilia, hands-on exhibits and storytelling covering more than a century of the brand's history. Rotating special exhibits explore custom builds, art and design, and permanent galleries include Serial Number One and an engine gallery. Guided tours, an audio guide in several languages, group programs and an on-site restaurant are available, and the museum also houses the official company archives.
