Harley-Davidson Museum opens in July

From Deeley Harley-Davidson Canada

MILWAUKEE, WI – Nearly 105 years in the making, the Harley-Davidson Museum, located near downtown Milwaukee, will open its doors to the public on Saturday, July 12. Grand Opening festivities will kick off with a Harley-Davidson-style ceremony at 10:00 a.m., and will continue throughout the weekend.

The 130,000-square-foot Museum will add a whole new dimension to the Harley-Davidson experience. Visitors will get a feel for the freedom, camaraderie, and pride that Harley-Davidson riders experience every time they fire up their motorcycles.

Museum visitors will be able to walk through a variety of exhibits that tell the stories of the extraordinary people, products, history, and culture of Harley-Davidson; peek into a portion of the archives that have never before been open to the public; stroll around the 20-acre Museum site, enjoy the riverwalk, or just sit back along the waterfront while taking in the Milwaukee skyline; and check out the unique Museum-inspired items at the Retail Store.

The Harley-Davidson Museum, located at the intersection of Sixth and Canal Streets in Milwaukee’s Menomonee Valley, will be open 364 days a year.

General admission tickets to tour the Museum are $16 for adults, $12 for students and seniors, $10 for children (ages 5 to 17 years), and free for children under 5 years of age with an accompanying adult.

The majority of tickets for the Grand Opening weekend will be sold in advance online, and the balance will be available for on-site sales during the Grand Opening weekend.
