Awesome displays of vintage bikes. I don't have one so I can just dream of having one by looking at the bikes there. They also have a shop were you can buy Harley T-shirts and other souvenirs.

Owner description:
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 – through the successes and trials of an iconic American company. Interactive, eye-catching exhibits present an unparalleled collection of legendary stories of our nation’s last century. Located on 20 acres in downtown Milwaukee, the Museum offers free parking, Motor Bary & Restaurant, Cafe Racer, The Shop, park-like outdoor spaces, special event rentals, guided tours for group of 15 or more, and Steel Toe Tours of the Powertrain Operations, home of the big-twin engine.Special exhibit in summer 2012: Worn to be Wild: The Black Leather Jacket June 16-September 3.

There is something for everyone at his fantastic tribute to Milwaukee's own Harley Davidson. Well laid out and extremely interesting. This is a must see in Milwaukee. Shop for your HD memorabilia and ave a bite to eat in the dining area. Easy to reach just south of Milwaukee off 6th street. You will regret missing this fun place

Very nice place, impressive but I'm a car nut, not into bikes. Was here for a wedding which worked out very well.

So much history - steel and chrome. This is a good experience whether you are a Harley rider or not. What four men from a shed in Milwaukee is inspiring.

It was great seeing all the old bikes back to serial number 1! The entry fee is a bit pricey, but I don't regret paying it for one time. We ate at the on-site restaurant and it was very good. We also enjoyed the gift shop, although some of the items were overpriced as well. Harley fans are a dedicated...

Harley fans will be in heaven. We toured the museum in about 2 hours prior to a Brewers game. It was not far from our hotel the Best Western Woodsview. I believe we paid $18.00 per person and the headsets were $4.00 a person. You could easily do it with out the headsets. Lots of cool bikes. Great displays. It's...

A new modern museum to feature native son Harley-Davidson... like HP, Harley Davidson was founded in the 1900s in a shed by young entrepreneurs. The story of the all-American bikes is well told by this museum. Even if Harleys are not your thing, the place and exhibit will win you over.

enjoyed wandering room to room viewing the displays of Harleys over the years. Glass case of motorcycle fuel tanks was a visual installation. Everyone had fun sitting on a variety of Harleys in the room intended for guests to hop on and pretend. fun stuff.
