The Harley-Davidson Museum, scheduled to open in Milwaukee's Menomonee River Valley in the summer of 2008, has begun marketing itself as a meeting destination that can accommodate groups up to as many as 15,000 people.
The backdrop of the industrial steel, glass and brick Harley-Davidson Museum buildings, combined with motorcycles and exhibits, create a one-of-a-kind venue for events, according to Stacey Schiesl, director of the Harley-Davidson Museum.
The museum's indoor event spaces are equipped to handle as many as 1,050 people.
For outdoor events, the museum's open green spaces can accommodate as many as 15,000 people. The museum grounds, which will be open to the public, will feature picnic and seating areas in outdoor spaces, allowing people to gather and enjoy the unique museum architecture and Milwaukee riverfront.
"The Harley-Davidson Museum is not your typical museum and by hosting an event at the Harley-Davidson Museum, you're not just giving your guests an unforgettable experience, you're giving them a glimpse into life less ordinary," said Stacey Schiesl, Harley-Davidson Museum director. "While your guests will have plenty of stories to read from the museum exhibits, the best stories will come from their experience at your event."
Partnering with Levy Restaurants, a wide variety of menu options will at available at the museum.
"The Harley-Davidson Museum is already generating exciting buzz in the hospitality industry as convention, meeting planners and group tour operators are always looking for that one-of-a-kind venue to host events and bring visitors," said Doug Neilson, president and chief executive officer of Visit Milwaukee. "This Museum, with its variety of indoor and outdoor event space, historic bikes and incredible exhibits, is going to be a significant new addition to the Milwaukee tourism landscape and attract groups from throughout the world."
The museum already has begun taking reservations for events held after Labor Day 2008. For additional information, visit www.h-dmuseum.com/specialevents.
