The Harley-Davidson Museum is going deep into its archives this summer to present Collection X: Weird Wild Wonders of the Harley-Davidson Museum, which will run June 11 through August 21. The exhibit will showcase an incredible array of treasures from the H-D archives, from secret prototypes and fantastic folk-art creations to “what were they thinking?” contraptions.

With a Company history spanning 108 years, Harley-Davidson has amassed a collection of items that is truly astounding in its scope. Visitors will see hundreds of items that include one-of-a-kind vehicles, clothing, artwork, photos, and some of the rarest and weirdest of collectibles.  Many of these treasures have never been on display before.
