The Business Journal of Milwaukee: Museum design inspired by spirit of Harley-Davidson - Exposed steel beams, raw industrial look
Harley-Davidson, Inc. is building their museum in Milwaukee's Menomonee Valley at the corner of South Sixth and West Canal Streets. The company is planning to coordinate the grand opening ceremony with the company's 105th anniversary celebration around Labor Day 2008.The 130,000-square-foot complex will truly be an expression of the Harley-Davidson spirit. The design of the museum can be described as an industrial-inspired design using mostly steel, brick, and glass. More than 1,200 tons of steel beams have been used in the construction.
In addition to the museum, this complex will also feature a restaurant, cafe, retail shop, meeting rooms, special events facilities, and the company's archives.
Rich Rovito, writer for The Business Journal of Milwaukee, describes in greater detail the rawness of this unique design. Click here to read more about the Harley-Davidson Museum>>>
