Roar of the Harley

The Harley Davidson motorcycle has come to Te Papa with a roar - and the icon motorcycle brand will keep on rumbling there until early June.

The Wellington museum's exhibition looks at 100 years of the company that started out in a backyard and overcame major obstacles to become a classic American icon.

Colourful Harley enthusiasts from around New Zealand will share their stories with a series of "floor talks".

On Sunday, February 16, at noon and again at 2pm, a Harley motorcycle will be featured and made available for visitors to sit on.

On Saturday, February 22, at noon and 1.30pm, female Harley Davidson owners will talk on "Harley-Davidson from a Woman's Perspective". Entry to the talks is free.

On until June 2, the exhibition is in the Ericsson Zone. Entry is $7 for adults, $4 for children aged 4 to 14. Family concessions are available.
